Answer:

$42

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the towels are 5% off of the original price, this means that you are paying 95% of the original price.

100% - 5% = 95%

Now, you have to divide the price of the towels on sale (39.90) by the percentage the towels are of the original price (95%) to find the original price.  Before you divide the price by the percentage, you need to convert the percentage to a decimal.

95% = 0.95

39.90 ÷ 0.95 = 42

The original price was $42.
