Answer:

The price of the tablet before the markdown was $\$250$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the price of the tablet before the markdown

we know that

$100\%-15\%=85\%=85/100=0.85$

$0.85x=212.50$ ------> linear equation that represent the situation

Solve for x

Divide by $0.85$ both sides

$0.85x/0.85=212.50/0.85$

$x=\$250$
