25*4 =100 so if 25% is one of 4 parts of 100% than 36: 3 is 12 so that means that 12 is one of 3 parts of 36. So just add 12 to 36 to make it 4 parts 36+12=48 so originally they were 48$

Let

x-------> the original price of the bed sheets


we know that

Nancy purchased some bed sheets for $ [tex] 36 [/tex] they were on sale [tex] 25 [/tex]% off

so

[tex] 100 [/tex]%- [tex] 25 [/tex]%= [tex] 75 [/tex]%

[tex] 75 [/tex]%=[tex] 0.75 [/tex]

[tex] 0.75*x=36\\ x=36/0.75\\ x=48 [/tex]


therefore


the answer is

the original price of the bed sheets was $[tex] 48 [/tex]
