    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
