The correct answer is: The original price is = x = $500
Explanation:
Mathematically, we can write it as:
[tex] \frac{15}{100} * x = 75 [/tex]
x = Original Price
The above equation can be read as: "The 15% of the original price is $75."
Now we need to find the value of x:
[tex] x =\frac{75 * 100}{15} = 500 [/tex]
Hence,
The original price is = x = $500
