A pair of jeans is on sale for 15% off the original price. The sale price of the jeans is $29.74. What was the original price
Let x=the original price
15% of the original price is .15x
15% off the original price is x-.15x so our equation to solve is:
x-.15x=$29.74
.85x=$29.74
x=$34.99
ck
$34.99-.15($34.99)=$29.74
$34.99-5.25=$29.74
$29.74=$29.74
