Answer:

[tex]\$700[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the original price of the computer

we know that

[tex]100\%-25\%=75\%[/tex]

[tex]75\%=\frac{75}{100}=0.75[/tex]

so

The equation that represent the original price is equal to

[tex]0.75x=525[/tex]

solve for x

Divide by [tex]0.75[/tex] both sides

[tex]0.75x/0.75=525/0.75[/tex]

[tex]x=\$700[/tex]
