1 A store is having a 30\%6-off sate on all merchandise. 1. If Priya buys one item and saves \( \$ 24 \), what was the originat price of her purchase? Type the answer in the box below. \( \$ \) Thpe your response in the space below. 2 . Explain your reasoning. Typer

1. \( \$ 80 \) 2. To find the original price of the item Priya purchased, we can set up the equation based on her savings. Given that she saved \$24, which is 30% of the original price, we can represent the original price as \( x \). The equation is \( 0.30x = 24 \). Dividing both sides by 0.30 gives \( x = 24 / 0.30 \), which simplifies to \( x = 80 \). Hence, the original price of her purchase was \$80.
