Question 490295: Amy Paid $94.79 for a pair of running shoes during a 30% off sale. What was regular price?
Answer by John10(297) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
At 70% (100% - 30%), the price is $94.79
At 100% (original), the price is $ X
Thus find X by the proportion:
70/100 = 94.79/X
X = (94.79*100)/70 = $135.41 which is the original price.
