You can put this solution on YOUR website!
On Wednesdays all vacines are discounted 25%. If Mrs. Jones's total vaccine bill for Buster, on wednesday, is $45.00, what was her savings?
----
She's paying 80% of the original price.
Equation:
0.80x = 45
----
x = 45/0.80
---
x = $56.25 (original price)
----
She saves 56.25-45 = $11.25
