The original price for one lunch special is $19.

Step-by-step explanation

The original price for one lunch special is 'p' dollar.

He wins a coupon for $4 off for each of five days. That means , he needs to pay
(p-4) dollar each day
.

So, the total amount needed to pay for 5 days
= 5(p-4) dollar

Given that, he pays $75 for his 5 lunch specials. So the equation will be.....


5(p-4)= 75\\ \\ 5p-20=75\\ \\ 5p= 75+20\\ \\ 5p= 95\\ \\ p=(95)/(5)=19

So, the original price for one lunch special is $19.
