Selina bought a shirt on sale that was 20% less than its original price. The original price was $5 more than the sale price. What was the original price? Explain your answer.

Respuesta :

barbarella

Answer:

The original price was $25

Step-by-step explanation:

where p is the original price of the shirt, the sale price of the shirt is .80p.

the sale price of the shirt is p - 5.

so you can use this equation:

.80p = p - 5

now solve for p.

.80p - 1p = -5

-.20p = -5

p = 25.

so the original price was $25 and the sale price was $20.
