Question

Carlina cannot use both of the tickets she bought for the rock concert to be held Saturday night. She sold one of the tickets to Kristen for 75% of the original ticket price. If Kristen paid approximately $28 for the ticket, what was the original price?
$21.00 $29.00 $38.00 $75.00

Answer 1

The original price of the ticket would be $38. 
38*0.75= 28.5

Answer 2

100%=$?
Considering ?=x
75•x=100•28
75•x=2800
x=2800:75
x=37.33
The original price is $38.00
