    Okay, to solve this, let's use the variable 'p' to represent the original price:

    Because we know the amount of discount and the percentage off, we know that 60% of the original price is $75.

    Knowing this, we can write an equation:

    0.6p = 75

    There are multiple ways to solve this, but I'll just use the method I prefer

    6p = 750

    p = 750/6

    p = 125

    The original price of the chess set was $125
