Answer:

The list price of the skirt before the discount was \(\$48\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the list price of the skirt before the discount

we know that

\(15\%=\frac{15}{100} =0.15\)

\(x(1-0.15)=40.80\)

solve for x

\(0.85x=40.80\)

Divide by \(0.85\) both sides

\(0.85x/0.85=40.80/0.85\)

\(x=\$48\)

Answer: 48$
