Use this equation to solve the problem:

x - (x * .25) = 40

This equation is saying the original price times itself by 25% is 40.

x - (x * .25) = 40
Simplify.
x - .25x = 40
.75x = 40
Divide both sides by .75.
x = 53.33

The original price was $53.33

If the sale price is $40 and the discount is 25%, what is the original price?
