The original price is $ 60

Solution:

Given information are:

Original price = ?

Percent of discount = 5 %

Sales price = $ 57

So, we have to find out the original price

Let "x" be the original price

Then, we can say,

Original price = sales price + discount percent of original price

x = 57 + 5 % of x


x = 57 + 5 \% * x\\\\x = 57 + (5)/(100) * x\\\\x = 57 + 0.05 * x\\\\x = 57 + 0.05x\\\\x - 0.05x = 57\\\\0.95x = 57\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ of\ equation\ by\ 0.95\\\\x = 60

Thus original price is $ 60
