Lisa buys a meal for her family for $29.25 after using a 40% off coupon. What is the price of the meal without the coupon?
+8581 If you multiply the $29.25 by 1.4, which would be 140 percent, then you are only adding on 40 percent of the $29.25, and not 40 percent of the original price, which is why you are coming up short. Instead, you need to do $29.25 divided by .6 (60 percent), which will give you $48.75.
