160 was the original price.
We know this because 25% is the same as I think of it as a quarter 25x4=100
So you would have to do 40x4=160
Your welcome.

Let the original price be $ x

Now , Set up an equation and solve for x :

[tex] \longrightarrow \tt \: 40 = x - 25\% \: of \: x[/tex]

[tex] \longrightarrow \tt \: 40 = x - \frac{25}{100} x[/tex]

[tex] \longrightarrow \tt40 = x - \frac{1}{4} x[/tex]

[tex] \longrightarrow \tt \: 40 = \frac{4x - x}{4} [/tex]

[tex] \longrightarrow \tt \: 160 = 3x[/tex]

[tex] \longrightarrow \tt \: x = 53.33[/tex]

  • The original price is $ 53.33 .
