Elita bought a jacket that was on sale for 45% off the original price. If she paid $110 for the jacket when she checked out, what was the original price of the jacket?

Let P stand for the original price                  P – (0.45 • P)  =  110     

                                                                              0.55 • P  =  110     

                                                                                         P  =  110 / 0.55     

                                                                                         P  =  200
