Let the original price = x

From X to get the new price you multiply by 1 + the percent of the increase which is 25%

1,25X = 2.00

Divide both sides by 1.25:

X = 1.60

The original price was B. 1.60

Answer:

x=1.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price

We increase by 25%

x+ .25x = new price

1.25x = 200

Divide each side by 1.25

x = 2.00/1.25

x=1.60
