Suppose that the total price of worth clothes equal : x
Rachel bought them with 12% off which means , Rachel bought them :
( x ) - ( 12x / 100 )
As the question told the above equation must equal 517$ , So :
( 100x / 100 ) - ( 12x / 100 ) = 517
100x - 12x / 100 = 517
88x / 100 = 517
multiply sides by 100
88x = 51700
Divide sides by 88
x = 587.5 $
Thus the total price is 587.5 $ .
