Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let the original price be = x

Discount rate = 25%

Step 2:

Discount = 25% of x = 0.25 × x = 0.25x

Sale price = Original price − Discount = x − 0.25x = 0.75x

Step 3:

Sale price = $16.50 = 0.75x

Solving for x

x = 16.50/0.75= $22

So, original price = $22
