A skirt was bought at 25% discount and the final price was $32. What was the original price of the skirt?

Answer 1

$32 * .25 = 8 (amount of discount)

32 + 8 = 40 (original price)

Answer 2

let the original price of the skirt be x.
therefore ,discount=25/100 x=1/4x
final price = original price - discount
=x-1/4x
but the given final price is $32
therefore x-1/4x=$32
3/4x=$32
x=$32*4/3
x=128/3
x=$42.66

Answer 3

100%-25%=75%
if $32=75%, 25% will be $32/3,
100% will be $32*4 / 3= $128/3=$42 2/3

So answer is $42.66(rounded off)

Answer 4

$32 is 75% of the original price.

Insert math symbols for the words in the sentence.

$32 = 0.75 * n
32/0.75 = n
$42.67= n = original price
