Question

John bought 3 of the same shirt and paid 63.00 after the 30%
discount.What was the original price of one of the shirts ? Not sure at all how to do this. Thank you

Answer 1

0.7x = 63
x = 90

90 / 3 = 30

Answer 2

let the original cost of one shirt be x
so three shirts cost 3x
reduced by 30% leaves you with .7(3x)

.7(3x) = 63
2.1x = 63
x = 63/2.1 = 30
