$48

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount = 25% = 0.25

The final price = $36

Percentage of the original price = 100% -25% = 75%

Percentage of the original price = 0.75

let the original price = y

Percentage of the original price × original price = 36

0.75 × y = 36

0.75y = 36


\begin{gathered} y\text{ = }(36)/(0.75) \\ y\text{ = 48} \end{gathered}

The original price of the math book = $48
