Answer:
A) She must have used 20% from the $40 instead of the unknown price.
B) No, because: see below explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
X is the original price.
If $40 is 80% of x, to find 1% of the price, divide $40 by 80.
You will get $0.50 for 1%.
To find the full amount, just multiply that by 100.
0.50*100= 50.
Total: $50.
