Answer:
$106.67
Explanation:
The price of a dress after a 25% discount is $80. Therefore, the original price of the dress is $106.67.
100% - 25% = 75%
x ⋅ 75% =80%
0.75x = 80
Now, we have to divide each side by 0.75 or just .75 (same thing).
0.75 ÷ 0.75 = 80 ÷ 0.75 = 106.67
The answer is $106.67.
The original price is 106.67
If we get a 25% discount, we are still paying 100-25 = 75%
Let x be the original price
x* 75% = 80
.75x = 80
Divide each side by .75
.75x/.75 = 80/.75
x =106.67
