Question

If the price of an object went up 25% to $10.25, what was the original price?

Answer 1

increased price = $10.25

percentage increased = 25%

let the original price be 'x'

x + 25%(x) = $10.25

x + 25x/100 = $10.25

x + 0.25x = $10.25

1.25x = $10.25

x = $10.25/1.25x = $8.2 = original price
