Question

find the original price of a pair of shoes if the sale price is $44 after a 60% discount

Answer 1

it'd be over $90

Answer 2

im trying to figure it out fully.

Answer 3

because 44+44 is 88. 88/2 is 44. which would be half off. so the extra 10%

Answer 4

im trying to think.. hold on.

Answer 5

@AravindG what do you think?

Answer 6

im not fully sure.. im trying to make it easier.. but i think i confused myself in the process.

Answer 7

Let the initial amount be x

When we give 60% discount the price becomes

x-(60/100)x=44

Solve for x.
