Awedding dress is on sale for $225.00,which is 25% off of the original price. what was the original price. how do you solve this?

  $300

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation for the the sale price in terms of the original price. Then solve for the original price.

  sale price = (original price) - (percent off) × (original price)

Factoring out the (original price), we have ...

  sale price = (original price) × (1 - percent off)

We can find the original price by dividing this equation by (1 - percent off).

  (sale price)/(1 -percent off) = original price

Putting in the numbers, we get ...

  $225/(1 -25%) = original price

  $225/(1 - 25/100) = $225/(1 -0.25) = $225/0.75 = original price = $300
