Explanation:

100%-25%= discounted price= 75%

You do the discounted price divided by 75 to find 1%

do that times 100 to find the pre-discounted price.

e.g

find the original price of a sweater when it was on sale of 25%. the sale price is £15.00.

£15.00 = 75%

15.00 divided by 75 = 1% =£0.20

£0.20 x 100 = pre-sale price = £20.00

The price of the sweater before the sale is £20.00.

You are welcome xx
