Answer:

68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price

The original price times the percent = 17

x*25% = 17

Change to decimal form

x*.25 = 17

Divide each side by .25

.25x/.25=17/.25

x =68

Answer:

The original item price is $68.00

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem use the inverse of percentages.

Normally,

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

So instead, use

100/25 , which = 4

4 x $17.00 = $68.00

To check, $68.00 x 25% = $17.00
