Answer:  The original price of the basketball was $128.

Step-by-step explanation:  The new price is 25% less than the original. That is the same as 25% from 100% is 75%.

So we can use that to calculate the original price:

96 = .75x . divide both sides by .75

96/.75 = x

128 = x  That is the original price.

Check:  $128 × .25 = $32, the amount of the discount.

$128 - 32 = $96  That is the price Julie paid.
