Sally buys a hang bag. There was a discaount of 35percent. If Sally paid $56.80 what was the original price?

The discount was 35% so the sale price was actually 65% of the original price (100% - 35% = 65%)

To find the original price, divide the sale price by the percent (as a decimal) of the original price (65% = 0.65)

56.80 / 0.65 = 87.38

to check: multiply the calculated original price 87.38 by 35% discount and subtract:

87.38 x 0.35 = 30.58

87.38 - 30.58 = 56.80 which equals the sale price

The original price was $87.38

Discount = 35%

Percentage after discount = 100% - 35% = 65%

65% = $56.80

1% = $0.8738

100% = $87.38

Answer: The original price is $87.38
