If a coffee table has a sale price of $54 and is 25% off, what was the original price?

$72

Step-by-step explanation: You have to realize that $54 is 75% of the original price, meaning that $54 is 3/4 of the original. Therefore, you must divide 54 by 3 to get 18, which is 25% of the origianl price. Since you now know what 25% of the original price is, you just have to add 18 to 54 to get $72. 72 dollars is 100% of the original price of the coffee table.

step-by-step explanation:

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
