    A 25% discount means u paid 75%

    75% of the original price is 18 ...

    0.75x = 18 ... with x being the original price

    x = 18 / 0.75

    x = 24 < = = the original price

    Discount ⇒ 25%

    The price after discount ⇒ 100% - 25% = 75%

    Solution:

    original price = percentage of original/percentage after discount * price after discount

    original price = 100%/75% * 18

    original price = 100/75 * 18

    original price = 4/3 * 18

    original price = 24

    The original price was $24.00
