A store has a
40% off sale on headphones. With this discount, the price of one pair of headphones is
$36.
What is the original price of the pair of headphones?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$60

Step-by-step explanation:

If you received 40% off then you paid 60% of the price. To find the original price, write a proportion.

[tex]\frac{60}{100}=\frac{36}{y}[/tex]

Solve by cross multiplying.

60y = 3600

y = 60
