Answer 1

The original price of the item is $28.

Explanation:

So to find the original price, we have to divide the sale price by the result of one minus the discount in percentage form.

So:

First convert 25% to a decimal, 0.25.

OP(original price) = 21 ÷ 1 - 0.25 =

1 - 0.25 = 0.75

21 ÷ 0.75 = 28.
