Answer:
List price of skirt was $48
2nd option is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the list price of the skirt was $x.
Now, we have been given that the store offered a discount of 15%.
It means Bernice has to pay
[tex]\$(x-0.15x)\\\\=$0.85x[/tex]
It has been given that Bernice pays $40.80 for the skirt. Thus, we have
[tex]0.85x=40.80[/tex]
Divide both sides by 0.85
[tex]x=\frac{40.80}{0.85}\\\\x=48[/tex]
Therefore, the list price of skirt was $48
2nd option is correct.
