Question

Natalie bought a book that was 25% off. The discount book was 18 dolars. What was the original price of the book

Answer 1

If the book was 25% off and the discounted price was $18, then 75% of the original price was $18.

In other words, 0.75 * Original Price = $18

Solving for Original Price, we get:

Original Price = $18 / 0.75

Original Price = $24

Therefore, the original price of the book was $24.
