A box of ice cream bars cost $1.50 after a 25% discount what was the original price of the box of ice cream bars ,if there is a 25% discount what percentage of the original price must a customer pay?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let 'x' represent the original price. 

x - 0.25x = 1.50

0.75x = 1.50 divide both sides by 0.75

x = 1.50/0.75

x = $2.00

The original price of the box of ice cream was $2.00.
