    The Regular Price was $112.50

    Explanation:

    On Monday - Discounted - 25% from original price

    On Tuesday - Discounted - 50% from the price from "Monday"

    I am going to multiply

    60 x 0.25 = $15

    $15 was discounted from the original price so you should add it to 60

    the price is 75 now. Next

    We need to multiply 75 x 0.50 = $ 37.5

    We do the same and add $37.5 to $75

    Which equals = $112.5

    The Regular Price was $112.50

    Ask Me any questions in the comments so i can clarify myself.

    Cheers!
