Answer:
The cost of the coat before the sale was $160.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of the coat before sale be $x.
Reduction in the cost during the sale = 25%
Amount reduced during the sale = 25% * x
= (25/100)*x
= x/4
Therefore, the cost of the coat during the sale = x - x/4
= 3x/4
It is given that the cost of the coat during the sale = $120.
=> 3x/4 = $120
=> 3x = $ 480
=> x = $ 160
Therefore, the cost of the coat before the sale was $160.
