The price of a dress in reduced by 60%. When the dress it is reduced by 60% of the reduced price. If the price of the dress after both reductions is 48$ what was the original price

28.80$

Step-by-step explanation:

You are finding 60% of 48 because the question is asking what is the price of a 48 dollar item that is 60% off.

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
