Question

question 2
a jacket is discounted 30% and the sale price is $84.
the original price was $______.

Explanation:

Step1: Define original price

Let original price be \( x \). After 30% discount, sale price is \( x - 0.3x = 0.7x \).

Step2: Solve for x

We know \( 0.7x = 84 \). Divide both sides by 0.7: \( x = \frac{84}{0.7} = 120 \).

Answer:

120
