During a recent clothing sale, a department store offered a discount of 30% off any jacket. Maria paid $45.50 for a jacket after the discount. What was the original price of the jacket?
-----------------
Let original price be "x":
-------
Equation:
x - 0.30x = 45.50
------
0.7x = 45.50
-------
x = 45.5/0.7
x = $65.00
