Answer:

$120

Step-by-step explanation:

$90 represents 75% of the original price.  We can write an equation for this...

$90 = 0.75x       ($90 is 75% of the original price, 0.75 is 75% as a decimal)

Now solve for x by dividing both sides by 0.75

$90/0.75 = 0.75x/0.75        which simplifies to

$120 = x
