A dress is on sale for $35, and the sale advertises that prices have been slashed 30%. What was the original retail price of the dress?
Let the original retail price be "x".
EQUATION:
x + 30% x = $35
1.3x=35
x= $26.92

the original price should be more than the 35$ because the prices have been slashed so the original price = X
X - 0.3X = 35$
0.7X = 35$
X = 50$
