A shirt is on sale for 25% off its original price. If the sale price is $36, what was the original price of the shirt?

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

If the shirt is 25% off, its sale price represents 100% - 25% = 75% of the original price. Let P be the original price. So, 0.75P = $36. Dividing $36 by 0.75 gives P = $48.
