Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

65

13 divided by 20 and times 100

Answer:

The correct answer is $65

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to give the original price of an item that saved $13, meaning with a 20% discount.

Notice that the 20% represents 1/5 of the original price. A simple calculation to get the original price is

[tex]13*\frac{original percentage}{discount percentage}[/tex]

and, if we replace every value, we get

[tex]13*\frac{100}{20}=65[/tex]

wich is the correct answer.
