Sweet T purchased a new pair of jeans to wear to the Battle of the Bands on sale at 40% off. He saved $20. What was the regular price of the jeans?

50$ because 20$ is 40%, so times that by 2 which you get 20$ and 80%. Then you divide 20 by 2 then you get 10 which is 20% so you add 10 and you get 50$ which is 100%

Let

x---------> the regular price of the jeans

we know that

[tex]x*0.40=\$20[/tex]

Solve for x

Divide by [tex]0.40[/tex] both sides

[tex]x*0.40/0.40=\$20/0.40[/tex]

[tex]x=\$20/0.40[/tex]

[tex]x=\$50[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

the regular price of the jeans was [tex]\$50[/tex]
