Answer: $120
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original price of the item be 'x'.
It is given that If 15% of an item is $18.00.
Since 15% = 0.15
Now, According to the question , we have
[tex]0.15x=18[/tex]
Divide 0.15 on both the sides, we get
[tex]x=\frac{18}{0.15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=120[/tex]
Therefore, the original price of the item = $120
