Question

All the items on the sale rack were 75 percent off their original price.

Answer 1

Answer:

112 $ is the original price

Step-by-step explanation:

$x \times 0.75 = 84 \\ x = 84 \div 0.75 \\ x = 112$

you have to think that the original price multiplied by 0.75 (also known as 75%) gave the result of what he saves i.e 84 $. So we put up an equation with the original price multiplied by 75% which equals the 84 $ he saved on buying that item on sale
