Answer 2

Answer:  $343.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Discount= 75%

Final Price= $85.99

We know that,

Discount price= Original price - Final price

Discount percentage=$\frac{\text{Discount price}}{\text{Original price}}\times100$

$=\frac{\text{Original price - Final price}}{\text{Original price}}\times100$

Let x be the original price , then according to the question we have

$75=\frac{x-85.99}{x}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow75x=100x-8599\\\\\Rightarrow100x-75x=85999\\\\\Rightarrow25x=8599\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{8599}{25}=\ 343.96$

Hence, Original price = $343.96
