I NED HELP lol A store decreased the price of all its jeans by 20%. If Tara bought a pair of jeans for $50, what was the original price?
Group of answer choices

$40.00

$62.50

$70.00

$60.00

Work Shown:

x = original price

20% = 20/100 = 0.20

20% of x = 0.20x = discount

x - 0.20x = 0.80x = final price

0.80x = 50

x = 50/0.80

x = 62.50

The original price of the jeans was $62.50

Note how,

20% of x = 0.20*x = 0.20*62.50 = 12.50

Tara saves $12.50 (this is the discount).

The price she pays is x - 0.20x = 62.50 - 12.50 = 50 dollars, which matches with what your teacher gave in the instructions. This confirms we have the correct original price.
