Answer:
$ 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Think that, Original price of a towel is $ 100
Using the above we can create a equation like this. Let the Original price of the towel given in the question be x.
Original price Discount Sale price
100 30 70
x 8.40
Now let's make an equation like this,
[tex]\frac{100}{x} =\frac{70}{8.40}[/tex]
Use cross multiplication and solve for the x
100 × 8.40 = 70 x
[tex]840=70x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{840}{70} =\frac{70x}{70}[/tex]
[tex]x=12[/tex]
Therefore, the original price is $ 12
