Answer:
Original Price = $23
Step-by-step explanation:
$5.75 is the price after a discount of 75%
Let the original price be x and x is 100% of the price
5.75 = 100%x - 75%x
5.75 = 25%x
The new price is 25% of the original because you are subtracting 75%
25% is also written as 0.25
5.75 = 0.25x
x = 5.75/0.25
x = 23
The original price is 23

Answer:
Percentage Change Formula
Step-by-step explanation:
Percent change can be applied to any quantity you measure over time. If the price increased use the formula
((New Price - Old Price) / Old Price) × 100
If the price decreased flip the first part to
((Old price - new price)
and then follow the rest of the formula.
