Answer:

240

Explanation:

You want the price that was increased by 25% to give a new price of 300.

Increase

When a price is increased by some rate r, it is effectively multiplied by (1+r). If the original price is p, the new price is ...

p(1 +25%) = 300

Old price

Then the old price p is ...

p = 300/1.25 = 240

The price that was increased ws 240.
