Let x be the original price,

$32

ANSWER:  

The original price of the saw was $32.

SOLUTION:

Given, Barbara saw a drill marked $28 this was 87.5% of the original price.

We need find what was the original price of that saw.

Let, the original price of saw be p.

Now, according to given information,  

$28 was 87.5% of the original price

28 = 87.5% of original price

p = 32

Hence, the original price of the saw was $32.

answer:   expression= p+p*d%

price reduction + sale price = $625

sale price: $p+$p*d%

where d% is the percentage of discount

step-by-step explanation:

original price = p

price went down by $150 price reduction $p*d%

sale price= $ 475

therefore the price before sale is: $625

and the expression that shows the price before sale is: p+p*d%
