What was the original price if after 25% discount it became $285?

380 = original price

Step-by-step explanation:

If we get a 25% discount, we still have to pay 100-25 = 75%

Final price = original price * percent we have to pay

285 = original price * 75%

Change to decimal form

285 = original price * .75

Divide each side by .75

285/.75 = original price *.75/.75

380 = original price

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
