Question

After taking off 20% from the original price of a pair of jeans, it cost PHP600. What is the original price?

Answer 1

let original price be x
takin off 20% would mean subtracting 20% of x from x i.e. 0.8x
so 0.8x=600
x=750

Answer 2

would you solve it easier?
use fractions instead of decimals

Answer 3

amount u paid was 80% of x
then u can calculate the original price

Answer 4

could you solve it in fraction form?

Answer 5

ok

x - (20/100)x=600
(80/100)x=600
x=600*(100/80)
x=750

is it good?
