So if $42 was 70% of the original price that means you saved 30% so work out 30% of $42 then add it to the $42 = $12.60 + $42

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to set up the equation 2/3+1/4/1/2, and we know that there is a stratgey for dividing fractions as well. But first, we need to find the least common fator for 2/3 and 1/4 which is twelve which would be 8/12+3/12 which is 11/12 and 11/12 dividing by 1/2 is 22/12 since all you need to do is do the keep change flip method which would give you an answer of 1 10/12 or 1 5/6
