Awoman bought a dress at a discount of 16 2/3%. if the woman paid $32.50, what was the original price of the dress?

$39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original price be x, so we need to subtract 16 2/3 % from that to get 32.50

So we can write:

So basically, the original price was $39.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
