Question

The sale price of an item is $180 after a 25% discount is applied. What is the original price of the item?

Answer 1

Answer:

$240

Step-by-step explanation:

if $180 is 25% less than the original price, then it is 75% of the original price, which is equal to 3/4. If $180 is 3/4, then 1/4 is $60, and 4/4, or 1, or the original price, is $240.

Answer 2

180 divided by 3 which is 60 then multiply by 4 then you get 240
180/3=60  60x4=240
so the original price of the item is $240
