The price of an item has increased 15% since last year. however l a person can buy the item for a 25%employee discount. the employee pays $172.50. what was the price last year?

Let us assume last year the price of the item = $x.

After increase in price by 15% the new price = x + 15% of x = x+ 0.15x = 1.15x.

There is a 25% discount for employee.

25% of 1.15x = 0.25 × 1.15x = 0.2875 x.

Price after discount = 1.15x - 0.2875 x = 0.8625x.

The employee pays $172.50.

Therefore,

0.8625x = 172.50.

Dividing both sides by 0.08625.
