Answer 2

The original price of the dress is $75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the original price of the dress be 'x'

if $30 is taken off, the new price is now 60% of the original price.

According to question, it would be

$\dfrac{60}{100}x=x-30\\\\0.6x=x-30\\\\0.6x-x=-30\\\\-0.4x=-30\\\\x=\dfrac{30}{0.4}\\\\x=\ 75$

Hence, the original price of the dress is $75.
