If a dress is sold for #3800.00 at 20% discount. what is its original price?

A.

#3,000.00

B.

#4,000.00

C.

 #5,000.00

D.

 #4,750.00

Correct Answer:  #4,750.00

Explanation

It is given that the cost of the item reduces to #3800.00 after the discount on the item. Let original price = x x – (20% of x) = 100 ⇒ x – 0.2x = 100 ⇒ 0.8x = #3800 ⇒ x = 3800/0.8 ⇒ x = 4,750
