Question

The sale price of an item is $180 after a 25% discount is applied. What is the original price of the item?

Answer 1

$240

Explanation:

.75*x=180

This equation is setup so we can find the value of the original price, since 25% is deducted, you can multiply x by 75% and set it equal to 180 since that is the resulting discounted price.

Answer 2

original price is $240
