Answer:
Divide the amount you paid by the percentage to get the full percentage of the answer
4.80 / 0.80 = 6
The original cost was $6.00
To make sure your answer is correct do 4.80/6 = 0.80
Also do 0.80 multiplied by 6 = 4.80. do you see the rhythm, it’s a loop a correct one 🙂
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the amount you paid by the percentage:
4.80 / 0.80 = 6
The original cost was $6.00
