Answer:

The original price of the tent = $320

Explanation:

Let the original price be =$

Discount offered =
% of the orignal price =
$(25)/(100)* x=0.25* x =\$ 0.25x$

Original price is $80 more than sale price

Discount = Original price - Sale price = $80

So, we have

0.25x=80

We need to solve for
to find original price

Dividing both sides by
0.25

$(0.25)/(0.25)x=(80)/(0.25)\\x=\$320$

∴ The original price of the tent = $320
