Answer:
The original price of the suit was $102.29.
Step-by-step explanation:
Alex purchased a new suit discounted by 65%.
He paid $35.80 for the suit.
Let the original price (100% price) be x.
After discount the price is given = 100% - 65% = 35%
35% of x = 35.80
0.35x = 35.80
x = [tex]\frac{35.80}{0.35}[/tex]
x = 102.2857 rounded to $102.29
The original price of the suit was $102.29.
