Amy paid $62.18 for shoes during a 15% off sale. What was the regular price?

Question

$71.51 is this correct?

Answer 1

62.18 = .85 x
x = 73.15

Answer 2

You take .15 off the ORIGINAL price, not add .15 * price to the FIMAL price

Answer 3

No, that is not correct. You can easily verify that 85% of 71.51 is not 62.18.

You apparently added 15% to 62.18.

The correct answer is 62.18/0.85 = ??, which is a bigger number that yours

Answer 4

Thank you sooo much!
