Tracy is taking advantage of a 25% off sale to buy a new coat. If the coat's sale price is $135, what was the original cost?.

Respuesta :

Answer:

$180 dollars

Explanation:

Given the following question:

25% of what number is 135

In order to find the answer, we calculate the percentage of the initial cost and then subtract that answer from the initial amount of the coat.

[tex]\frac{25\times180}{100} =25\times180=4500\div100=45[/tex]
25% of 180 = 45
[tex]180-45=135[/tex]
[tex]=180[/tex]

The initial cost of the coat is "$180 dollars."

Hope this helps.
