A shirt is on sale for $19. If the shirt was marked down by 35%, then what was the
original price?
Round your answer to two decimal places and do not include the $ sign.



Answer :

To find the original price of the shirt before the 35% discount, you can follow these steps: 1. Calculate how much the 35% discount is in dollars by multiplying the sale price by 35% (which is 0.35 since percentages are written as decimals in calculations). 2. Subtract the discount amount from the sale price to find the original price of the shirt. 3. Let's apply these steps: Sale price = $19 Discount = 35% 1. Discount amount = $19 * 0.35 = $6.65 2. Original price = $19 + $6.65 = $25.65 Therefore, the original price of the shirt before the 35% discount was $25.65.
