To find out what percentage of its original price a coat was sold for, you can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Percentage of original price} = \left( \frac{\text{Sale Price}}{\text{Original Price}} \right) \times 100
\]
In this case, the sale price is $104, and the original price is $160. Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Percentage of original price} = \left( \frac{104}{160} \right) \times 100
\]
Now, calculate the fraction:
\[
\frac{104}{160} = 0.65
\]
Next, multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:
\[
0.65 \times 100 = 65\%
\]
Therefore, a coat was sold for **65%** of its original price.
