Paola · Answer 1

The jacket costs $45

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, notice that the price of the sale represents 80% of the total cost. This is because we took 20% away with the sale. Now we can find the overall amount by dividing the sale cost by the amount it represents.

$36 / 80% = $45
