Clara just purchased a large wall clock that was on sale. This price she paid was $63.75 after the advertised 15% discount was applied. Find the original price of the wall clock, in dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

since $63.75 was the price discounted by 15%, she only paid 100% - 15% = 85% of the original price.

so,

$63.75 = 85%

1% = 85%/85 = 63.75/85

100% (the original price) = 100×1% = 100×63.75/85 =

= 6375/85 = 1275/17 = $75

the original price was $75
