Jocelyn Angelica bought a dress marked, "Sale Price is 18% Off." The cashier told her she saved $23. How much was the price of the dress, before markdown?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$28.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sale price is 18% off, this means we pay 100-18 = 82% of the original price.  82% = 82/100 = 0.82; using x as the original price, we can set up the equation

0.82x = 23

Divide both sides by 0.82:

0.82x/0.82 = 23/0.82

x = 28.05
