Hi there

Let the original price be x
x-0.75x=85.99
Solve for x
0.25x=85.99
X=85.99÷0.25
X=343.96

Check your answer
343.96−343.96×0.75=85.99
Correct

Hope it helps

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
