after a 25%, a picnic table is on sale for $120. What was the regular price

Question

i dont how what im i suppose to do in this problem 

Answer 1

So, Andrew, if we take off 25%, that means $120 is 75% of the regular price, right?

 

.75p = 120

p = 160

 

The regular price is $160.

 

Now, I'm just assuming you meant a discount. If it's a price INCREASE...

 

1.25p = 120

p = 96
