let x = orginal price of the shorts
$21 = x(100%-20%) * 1.05
$21 = x(80%) * 1.05
$21 = 0.8x * 1.05
Subtract 1.05 from both sides
$19.95 = 0.8x
Divide 0.8 from both sides
$24.9375 = x
So the orginal price of the shorts are about $24.94

Select equivalent expression





Start by solving the given expression (using a calculator)

Then we solve the given options (using a calculator)










The equivalent expressions are (a) and (e)
Keep in mind the the word "percent" translates to "for each 100." 25% can be read as "25 for each 100," which has the fractional representation

and the decimal representation 0.25. All of these representations are just different ways of writing the same value.
Note too that the fraction

can be reduced to

, so what the question is really asking is: 1/4 of what number is 9?
Well, if we know that 1/4 of the number is 9, we can easily find how large the whole number is by finding all 4/4 of it (the <em>whole</em> number)<em /><em />, or 4 x 9, which multiplies out to
36.
