Conway · Answer 1

The original price was 380

Step-by-step explanation:

Final price = original price * discount

285 = original price * 75%

285 = original price * (75/100)

285/.75 = original price *.75/.75

original price = 380

Reyes · Answer 2

380 = original price

Step-by-step explanation:

If we get a 25% discount, we still have to pay 100-25 = 75%

Final price = original price * percent we have to pay

285 = original price * 75%

Change to decimal form

285 = original price *.75

Divide each side by. 75

285/.75 = original price *.75/.75

380 = original price
