Percentages are out of 100.

To find your answer you'll do 100-25(the percentage loss of the price) which takes us to 75.

Then do[tex]100/75*101.25[/tex] to get your answer.

The original price of the object is $135.

Set up an equation like this, with x representing the original price:

x - 0.25x = 101.25

Simplify:

0.75x = 101.25

Divide:

x = 135

The original price was $135.
