You can put this solution on YOUR website! Problem: The dress store is having a sale where all merchandise is 1/4 off. A woman buys $48 of merchandise at the sale price. What would she have had to pay at the regular price?
-----------------------------
Let the regular price be "x".
Equation:
x - (1/4)x = 48
(3/4)x = 48
x = (4/3)*48
x = 4*16
x = $64 (regular price)
