A store has a 40%, percent off sale on headphones. With this discount, the price of one pair of headphones is 36$.
What is the original price of the pair of headphones?

Respuesta :

$90 because you take the discounted price then divide it by .40 (40%)

Answer:

The original price is $60.00

Step-by-step explanation:

A store has a 40% off sale on headphones.

After discount the price of one pair of headphones = $36.00

Let the original price of the pair of headphones be x

after 40% discount the value of headphone left = 60%

so, 60% of x = $36.00

= x = 36.00 ÷ 0.60 = $60.00

The original price of the pair of headphones is $60.00.
