Okay, to solve this, let's use the variable 'p' to represent the original price:
Because we know the amount of discount and the percentage off, we know that 60% of the original price is $75.
Knowing this, we can write an equation:
0.6p = 75
There are multiple ways to solve this, but I'll just use the method I prefer
6p = 750
p = 750/6
p = 125
The original price of the chess set was $125

Answer:
it's an example related to your question
Step-by-step explanation:
Q. One number is 2 times a first number. A third number is 100 more than the first number. If the sum of the three numbers is 200, find the number
Answer:First number = x
One number = 2x
Third number = 100 + x
x + 2x + 100 + x = 200
Collect like terms
4x + 100 = 200
4x = 100
x = 25
First number = 25
One number = 50
Third number =125
Total= 200
Hope this helps.
