A shirt is on sale for $42. If this is of the original price of the shirt, what was the original price of the shirt?

A. $72.75

B. $25.20

C. $70.00

D. $68.75

C. $70.00

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the discount rate of 60% into a decimal (0.6)

Remember that the original price (x) times the discount rate (0.6) is the sale price (42).

0.6x=42

divide both sides by 0.6 to get

x=70

The original price was $70.00
