Answer:
The original price of the tent = $320
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original price be =$ [tex]x[/tex]
Discount offered = [tex]25[/tex]% of the orignal price = [tex]\frac{25}{100}\times x=0.25\times x =\$ 0.25x[/tex]
Original price is $80 more than sale price
Discount = Original price - Sale price = $80
So, we have
[tex]0.25x=80[/tex]
We need to solve for [tex]x[/tex] to find original price
Dividing both sides by [tex]0.25[/tex]
[tex]\frac{0.25}{0.25}x=\frac{80}{0.25}\\x=\$320[/tex]
∴ The original price of the tent = $320
