Answer:

The original price of the tent = $320

Explanation:

Let the original price be =$
x

Discount offered =
25% 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
x 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
