A dress is on sale for $141 what was the original price of the dress if the discount was 1/4 of the original price

$175

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 1/5 = 4/5

If we let x = the original price:

4/5x = 140

We then multiply both sides by 5/4:

x = 140 * 5/4

Factor out a 5 in the 140:

x = (35*4) * 5/4

The fours in the numerator and denominator cancel each other out:

x = 35 * 5

x = 175

So the original price is $175
