sorry that i am late to the show just wanted to show work for it incase anyone views this in the future

The original price  of the sweater = $36

The discounted price = $27

Discounted percentage = 75%

Let the original price be represented by x

Discounted price = 75% of the original price

27  =  75%  of  x

27  =  (75/100)x

27  =  0.75x

0.75x  =  27

Divide both sides by 0.75

[tex]\frac{0.75x}{0.75} =\frac{27}{0.75}[/tex]

x  =  36

The original price  of the sweater = $36
