To find the regular price before the sale, we can use the concept of the original price being 100% and the discount being 25%.
Here's how you can calculate the regular price before the sale:
1. Convert the discount percentage to a decimal: 25% is equivalent to 0.25 in decimal form.
2. Divide the sale price by (1 - discount percentage):
Regular price = Sale price / (1 - discount percentage)
Let's plug in the values into the formula:
Discount percentage = 25% = 0.25
Sale price = $52.83
Regular price = $52.83 / (1 - 0.25)
Regular price = $52.83 / 0.75
Regular price = $70.44
Therefore, the regular price before the sale was $70.44.
