Answer:

if there was a 15% discount, then you paid 75% of the original price. Since we don't know the orginal price, we will assign it the variable x. Change 75% to a decimal. The equation would be:

.75x = 208.25 To get the variable by itself, divide each side by .75

.75x/.75= 208.25/.75

x = 277.6

The original price of the suit was $277.6

I hope this helped you.
