    68

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x be the original price

    The original price times the percent = 17

    x*25% = 17

    Change to decimal form

    x*.25 = 17

    Divide each side by. 25

    .25x/.25=17/.25

    x = 68

    The original item price is $68.00

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For this problem use the inverse of percentages.

    Normally,

    25% = 25/100 = 1/4

    So instead, use

    100/25, which = 4

    4 x $17.00 = $68.00

    To check, $68.00 x 25% = $17.00
