Answer: z = 210

Step-by-step explanation: Let's assume the original price of the present was x dollars.

Amanda agreed to pay 30% of the original price, so her contribution was 0.3x dollars.

The remaining amount to be paid is (1 - 0.3)x = 0.7x dollars.

Gabriel agreed to pay 2/5 of the remaining amount, so he paid (2/5)(0.7x) = 0.28x dollars.

The balance amount to be paid by Daniel is (1 - 0.3 - 2/5)(x) = 0.42x dollars.

When the price increased by 25%, the new price became 1.25x dollars.

We can set up an equation based on Amanda's contribution and solve for x:

0.3x = 63

x = 210

Therefore, the original price of the present was $210.
