Answer:

$\$700$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the original price of the computer

we know that

$100\%-25\%=75\%$

$75\%=\frac{75}{100}=0.75$

so

The equation that represent the original price is equal to

$0.75x=525$

solve for x

Divide by $0.75$ both sides

$0.75x/0.75=525/0.75$

$x=\$700$
