Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. Macy's is selling shirts that have been reduced to $6. This price is at 25% of the original price. What was the original price?
User
The original price is x. The discount is 100% - 25% remaining = 75% discount. The discount is 75%, so the original price is x - .75x = .25x. The sale price is $6, so $6 = .25x, which is the same as 6 / .25 = x. X = $24.
The final answer: 24.
