Question

The price of an item was reduced 25% to $30. What was the original price of the item?

Answer 1

let x =the price of the items

25x/100=$30

$30×100=25x

$3000=25x

divide both sides by 25

$3000/25=25x/25

$120=x

therefore the price is $120

Answer 2

37.5

Explanation:

30 x 0.25 = 7.5

30 +7.5

37.5
