I have to solve a written equation I'm not able to get. "The dress store is having a sale where all merchandise is 1/4 off. A woman buys $42 of merchandise at the sale price" What would she have had to pay at the regular price?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So she paid 42$ with the discount?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just take that number and multiply it by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 168

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because 1/4 of 168 is 42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It stated that was incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

168?
