Sally buys a handbag. there was a discount of 30%. if sally paid, $17.50, what was the original price?

The original price was $25. 

First, convert the 30% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 30% by 100%, or 30% / 100% = 0.300.

Second, find out what 30% of $25 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.300 by the item's cost $25, like this:

0.300 x $25 = $ 7.50.

So for this sale, you'll save $ 7.50 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is

$25 - $ 7.50 = $17.50.

The great thing about this problem is they give you everything you need to solve it easily. so the expression is: 12h+30w12h+30wand so everywhere you have an “h” you place 66. and everywhere you have a “w” you place 33. then the expression will look like this: 12(66)+30(33)12(66)+30(33)from here you multiply and then add. getting the following of: $785,862hope this
