The price of a product increased by $75, which was a 15% increase. what was the product's original price

The correct answer is: The original price is = x = $500

Explanation:

Mathematically, we can write it as:

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:

Hence,

The original price is = x = $500

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

r = 78539458390583095803458309458039485093485 or just 3
