Answer 2

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Let the original price of the winter jacket be = x

Mark down percentage = 75% or 0.75

Current price of the jacket = $52.50

We can solve this as :

`x-0.75x=52.50`

`0.25x=52.50`

`x=210`

Therefore, the original price of the winter jacket was $210.
