To determine what percentage of the original price the suit was sold for, let's follow these steps:
1. Identify the original price and the sale price:
- The original price of the suit was [tex]$200.
- The sale price of the suit was $[/tex]130.
2. Determine the fraction of the original price that the sale price represents:
- To do this, divide the sale price by the original price.
[tex]\[
\text{Fraction} = \frac{\text{Sale Price}}{\text{Original Price}} = \frac{130}{200}
\][/tex]
3. Convert the fraction to a percentage:
- To convert a fraction to a percentage, multiply it by 100.
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{130}{200} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
4. Calculate the value:
- Perform the division first:
[tex]\[
\frac{130}{200} = 0.65
\][/tex]
- Then multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
[tex]\[
0.65 \times 100 = 65
\][/tex]
So, the suit was sold for 65% of its original price.
