Answer:

25 = original price

Step-by-step explanation:

If we get 25% off, we still have to pay 100-25 = 75 % of the original price

Sale price = original price * percent of original price

We know the sale price = 18.75 and the percent of original price = 75%

Substituting into the equation

18.75 = original price * 75%

18.75 = original price *.75

Divide each side by .75

18.75/.75 = original price *.75/ .75

25 = original price
