if a coat is marked as 25% off and you pay $90 how much is the original price
————————————————————————————————
Let x = original price
"25% of x" is 0.25x
"25% off of x" is 1x-0.25x = (1-0.25)x = 0.75x
—
We know $90 = 0.75x
Divide both sides by 0.75:
$90/0.75 = x
$120 = x
Original price of coat was $highlight%28120%29
