Answer:

(a) $100

(b) $120

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (a):

[tex]$125-(.2*125)[/tex]    | Original price minus .2 of the original price, or 20% of the price.

[tex]125-(25)\\100[/tex]

Mary paid $100 for the dress.

Part (b):

Now she wants to sell the dress for a profit of 20%. To set this up, take the price she paid for the dress ($100) and add twenty percent of that price to the 100 dollars. In other words,

[tex]100+(.2*100)\\100+(20)\\120[/tex]

Mary's selling price is $120.
