Basically, Raphael bought the camera at 25% of the original price.

One simple trick here is that 25% is one third of 75%. So all you need to do is MULTIPLY $160 by 4 to get how much the camera's regular price was.

160 x 4 = 640

The camera's regular price was $640.00

so paid160


75 percent off
100 percent=original
75 percent off=100-75=25%
160=25% of original cost
'of' means multiply
remember tha tpercent is parts out of 100 so
25%=25/100=1/4
160=1/4 times original cost
multiply both sides by 4
640=original cost
answe ris $640 =original cost
