Answer 1

Answer:

The original price is $40

Explanations:

Sale Price = $10

Percentage Discount = 75%

Discount = Original Price - Sale Price

Discount = Original Price - 10

Let the original price be x

Discount = x - 10

The percentage discount is given by the formula:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Discount = }\frac{\%\text{Discount}}{\text{1}00}\times\text{x} \\ Discount\text{ = }\frac{75}{100}\times x \\ \text{Discount = 0.75x} \\ x\text{ - 10 = 0.75x} \\ x\text{ - 0.75x = 10} \\ 0.25x\text{ = 10} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{10}{0.25} \\ x\text{ = }40 \end{gathered}$

The original price = $40
