Find the original price sales price 40$ percent of discount 25%

The original price is 53 and 33 cents

We can solve this by using an equation as shown if "x" equals the original sales price ...

x - (1/4) x = 40

Basically, its 100% of x being lowered to 75% of it's original price (25% discount so 1/4th being taken away from it), which should be 40$

*Simplify*

(3/4) x = 40

*Simplify*

x = (40) (4/3)

Therefore,

x = 160/3 or x ≈ 53.33
