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

A

#3,000.00

B

#4,000.00

C

#5,000.00

D

#4,750.00

correct option: d

Given that the cost of the dress reduces to #3800.00 by the discount,

Assume the original price = x

x – (20% of x) = 100

x – 0.2x = 100

0.8x = #3800

x = \(\frac{3800}{0.8}\)

x = 4,750
