Question

Karisma bought a pair of jeans for $45 during a 20% off sale. What was the original price of the jeans?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The original price of the jeans was $\bold{\red{\ 54.}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\rightsquigarrow$ We are given that Karisma paid $45 for a pair of jeans and that the pair of jeans were a part of a 20% discount sale.

$\mapsto$ The price that Karisma purchased the jeans for is the discount price. We need to find the original price.

$\rightsquigarrow$ If the jeans were discounted by 20%, we can multiply the sale price by 100% + 20% to get the original price.

$\mapsto$ Firstly, let's add the percentages together.

$\bold{100\% + 20\% = 120\%}$

$\longrightarrow$ Then, we need to convert our percentage to a decimal.

$\sf{\displaystyle \dfrac{120\%}{100\%}=1.20}$

$\longrightarrow$ Finally, we can multiply our discount price by the decimal to find the original price.

$\bold{\ 45 \times 1.20 = \ 54}$

$\hookrightarrow$ Therefore, the original price of the jeans was $54.
