A shirt is on sale for $15.75. This is 15% off the original price. What was the original price of the shirt?
1.$13.39
2.$17.25
3.$18.11
4.$18.53

Answer

18.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the 15.75 by the remaining percent of 85% to get 18.53

100-15=85

15.75x85%=18.53

The answer is 4, $18.53
I do not remember the exact formula we used in school but if you were to multiply any of the answers by .85 (this represents what 85% of this number would be), only option 4 equals $15.75
