Tickets marked up 35% to 59.40 what is original price

The original should be 80.19. All you do is make the 35% to a decimal (move the percent sign twice to the left to make it. 35) and then you add it to the 59.40. (.35*59.40) That should be 20.79. You then add and then that is it. (20.79+59.40)

So percent means parts ouf of 100

x%=x/100

so marked up form original to new price

100%=original

marku=35%

new price=100+35=135%

new price=59.40

so therefor

59.40=135/100 of original price

'of' means mutiply

replace 'origional price' with x

59.40=135/100 times x

simplify 135/100 to 27/20

59.40=27/20 times x

mutiply both sides by 20/27 to clear fraction

1188/27=x

44=x

original price=$44
