Sagot :
Original price of the swimsuit = x
If something was discounted 65%, that means you are paying 35% for it.
(100% - 65% = 35% or 0.35)
x(0.35) = 20.30
divide both sides by 0.35
x = 58
The swimsuit was originally 58 dollars.

Answer: The original price of swimsuit is $58.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Sale price of swimsuit = $20.30
Rate of discount =65%
Let the original price of swimsuit be 'x'.
According to question,
[tex]\frac{100-65}{100}\times x=20.30\\\\\frac{35}{100}\times x=20.30\\\\x=\frac{100\times 20.30}{35}\\\\x=\$58[/tex]
Hence, the original price of swimsuit is $58.
