Cobweb · Answer 1

70% off means she only paid 30% so if x = original price,

54/x = 30/100.

Cross multiply

30x = 5400 so divide by 30

x = $180

The answer is $92.00 all you have to do is multiply the 70 percent back on the sale price to get your answer. I used to work in a dress store and that's how we did it
