    The original price is $36

    Step-by-step explanation:

    ∵ Assume that the original price is 100%

    ∵ It reduced 25%

    ∴ The new price is 100% - 25% = 75%

    ∵ The new price is $27

    ∴ 75% * original price = 27

    ∴ 75/100 * original price = 27

    ∴ Original price = (27 * 100) : 75 = $36
