Let x = original price
Knowing that multiplying the original price and the discount is the discount price. We formulate:
x(1 - 0.40) = 179.94
x(0.60) = 179.94
x = 179.94/0.60
x = 299.9
That is about 300 of the original price.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{-\dfrac{5}{8}+\dfrac{1}{4}=-\dfrac{3}{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-\dfrac{5}{8}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{4}+\left(-\dfrac{5}{8}\right)=\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{5}{8}\\\\\text{find LCD:}\\\\8=2\cdot4,\ \text{therefore. LCD(4, 8) = 8}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1\cdot2}{4\cdot2}=\dfrac{2}{8}\\\\\text{continuing}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{8}-\dfrac{5}{8}=\dfrac{2-5}{8}=-\dfrac{3}{8}$
