Question 289026
<pre>
Or you can do it this way:

Let the original price be P.
Then the discount will be 25% of P, or 0.25P
We subtract the discount 0.25P from the original price P to get 
the sale price 1500
    P - 0.25P = 1500
1.00P - 0.25P = 1500
        0.75P = 1500
            P = 1500/0.75
            P = 2000
