Lets say the original price is Y. 72$ = 60/100 x Y is the equation. If you solve it you would get Y = 120 $. If this is right could you possibly give me brainliest? Hope this helped.

Answer:

We are looking for the original price of the dress. We are given that $72 is 60% of the original price. Let x be the original price, and translate this into an equation:

72= 0.06 (x)

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.60, we have

72x=0.60x=120

So, the original price of the dress was $120.
