You can put this solution on YOUR website! A clothing store manager reduced the original price of designer jeans by 20% on Monday, then, on Friday, decreased Monday's price by 60%. If the resulting price was $108.00, then what was the original price?
--------
Let "x" be the original price.
Eqution:
0.4*0.8*x = 108
------
0.32x = 108
x = $337.50
