Crystal bought a dress for 45% of the original cost. After adding $1.35 for taxes, she paid a total of $23.85. What was the original cost of the dress?

The original cost of the dress was $53

Explanation:

To find the answer, we can first add back the 1.35 tax to the final cost of 23.85. This is equal to 25.2

This value is 45% of the original cost, so to find the original cost, we can use a simple rule of three:

$23.85   45%

x              100%

100 x 23.85 / 45 = $53

We can prove this answer by multiplying the resulting value for the corresponding percentage:

$53 x 45% = $23.85

the punishment for breaking the law would depend on the conditions or the seriousness of the law being broken, if he or she breaks the law while doing some great discovery or invention then it would classify as a scientific fraud. there are other words to describe the crime but scientific fraud would be the harshest one.
