    25 = original price

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If we get 25% off, we still have to pay 100-25 = 75 % of the original price

    Sale price = original price * percent of original price

    We know the sale price = 18.75 and the percent of original price = 75%

    Substituting into the equation

    18.75 = original price * 75%

    18.75 = original price *.75

    Divide each side by. 75

    18.75/.75 = original price *.75/.75

    25 = original price
