Okay, to solve this, let's use the variable 'p' to represent the original price: Because we know the amount of discount and the percentage off, we know that 60% of the original price is $75. Knowing this, we can write an equation: 0.6p = 75 There are multiple ways to solve this, but I'll just use the method I prefer 6p = 750 p = 750/6 p = 125 The original price of the chess set was $125
