Answer 2

Answer: $343.96

Explanation:

Given: Discount= 75%

Final Price= $85.99

We know that,

Discount price= Original price - Final price

Discount percentage=
`\frac{\text{Discount price}}{\text{Original price}}*100`

`=\frac{\text{Original price - Final price}}{\text{Original price}}*100`

Let x be the original price , then according to the question we have

`75=(x-85.99)/(x)*100\\\\\Rightarrow75x=100x-8599\\\\\Rightarrow100x-75x=85999\\\\\Rightarrow25x=8599\\\\\Rightarrow x=(8599)/(25)=\$343.96`

Hence, Original price = $343.96
