Question

Vs Sale prices find the original price Sale! 75% OFF of the original price! Ir a mop has a sale price of $2, what was the onginal price?

Answer 1

Take x as the original price. If there is 75% off, the sale price is represented by the equation

`x-0.75x=2`

Clear x from the equation

`\begin{gathered} x-0.75x=2 \\ 0.25x=2 \\ x=(2)/(0.25) \\ x=8 \end{gathered}`

The original price was $8
