What you would want to do is make 30% into a decimal which is 0.30. Then divide 72 by 0.30 and get the answer

(I think. If I'm wrong remember this Google is your friend : D)

India Taylor · Answer 2

If the sale was for 30% off, then she paid 70% of the regular price

100%-30%=70% or 0.70

72*0.70=$50.40

Answer = $50.40
