Question

A jewelry store marked up the price of its well-known necklace. The new price of the necklace is $250, which is 125% of the original price. What was the original price of the necklace?

Answer 1

You do 250 x 1.25, then you get 312.5, then you subtract 250 by 312.5, and get -62.5, so, 250 - 62.5 = 187.05, I hope this helps!

Answer 2

The original price was $312.5
