Question 668289
No it does not. The price before markdown is lower than the sale price.  This cannot be!!
...
The original price is x
with the discount of .15x, the sale price is x - .15x
...
x - .15x = 127.50
.85x = 127.50 (or think of it as if it is 15% off then it is 100-15=85% of the original price)
Divide both sides by .85
{{{highlight_green(x = 150)}}} as the original price.
...
Check {{{cartoon(
.15(150) = 22.50,
150 - 22.50,
127.50)}}}
