Q. The sale price of a crystal vase is $44\$44. What was the original price?\newline$\$____
  1. Calculate Discount Percentage: Calculate the discount percentage using the given sale price and original price formula.\newlineLet's assume the discount was 20%20\% off the original price.\newlineOriginal Price =Sale Price1Discount Percentage= \frac{\text{Sale Price}}{1 - \text{Discount Percentage}}\newline=$4410.20= \frac{\$44}{1 - 0.20}\newline=$440.80= \frac{\$44}{0.80}\newline$= \$\(55\)
  2. Verify Calculation: Check if the calculation is correct by reversing the process.\(\newline\)Sale Price = Original Price \(\times\) \((1 - \text{Discount Percentage})\)\(\newline\)= \(\$(55) \times 0.80\)\(\newline\)= \(\$(44)\)
