Explain Bot To find the original price of the ski hat, we can use the information that it is on sale for 25% off, or $5 off.
To do this, we can set up a proportion using the discount amount and the original price. Let's call the original price of the ski hat "x".
We know that the discount amount is $5, and it represents 25% of the original price, which is 0.25x. So we can write the proportion as:
$5 / x = 0.25
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by x:
$5 = 0.25 * x
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.25 to isolate x:
$5 / 0.25 = x
Simplifying this expression, we find:
$20 = x
Therefore, the original price of the ski hat is $20.
