Answer:

340

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = original price

We increase by 25%

x+x*25% = new price

Change to decimal form

x+.25x = new price

Factor out the x

x(1+.25) = new price

x(1.25) = new price

x(1.25) = 425

Divide each side by 1.25

x = 425/1.25

x =340

The original price is 340
