A jewelry store marked up the price of its most popular necklace. The new price of the necklace is $455, which is 130% of the original price. What was the original price of the necklace?

Respuesta :

To solve this, I would write a proportion, it makes everything easier.
Since we don't know what the original value is, it will be x. The second proportion is the percents of everything.
455   130
  x     100
Cross multiply 455 by 100 and then divide it by 130.
This gives you 350.
The original Price of the necklace is 350
