Celine bought a coat for $120 that was originally marked $160. What percent of the original price did she pay?

To figure out this answer, simply write out the equation: 160x=120 which equals 3/4

then to convert 3/4 to a percent, you do 3/4 * 25/25 giving you 75/100

and 75/100 is equal to 75%

She paid 75% of the original price

She paid 75% of the original price so $160/100% equal it to 120/x (x being unknow percent) Cross multiply ang get 160x=12000 then divided both by 160 then you get 75, your percentage
