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

You can tell how many zeros an equation has by if the equation is squared, cubed... In this equation, x^2 would have 2 zeros.

Answer: $\huge\boxed{\boxed{15}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given expression</u>

$\large\boxed{\frac{12[30 - (9+4^2)]}{|10|-|-6| } }$

<u>Simplify the exponents</u>

$\large\boxed{=\frac{12[30 - (9+16)]}{|10|-|-6| } }$

Simplify values in the parenthesis

$\large\boxed{=\frac{12[30 - 25]}{|10|-|-6| } }$

$\large\boxed{=\frac{12[5]}{|10|-|-6| } }$

<u>Simplify absolute values (all positive)</u>

$\large\boxed{=\frac{12[5]}{10-6 } }$

$\large\boxed{=\frac{12[5]}{4 } }$

<u>Simplify by division</u>

$\large\boxed{=3~[5]}$

<u>Simplify by multiplication</u>

$\huge\boxed{\boxed{=15}}$

Hope this helps!! :)
