Answer: $1000 and the discount is $250

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that $750 is the already discounted price, and that the unit is $.

So let x be the original price.

Setting up an equation:

750 = 75x/100; x = 1000

You can either subtract 750 from 1000 or find 25% of it, either way the discount is $250

Hope that helps!
