Answer:

$800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be $x.

75% reduction ----- 100% -75%= 25%

25%x= 200

[tex] \frac{25}{100} x = 200 \\ x = 200 \div \frac{25}{100} \\ x = 200 \times \frac{100}{25} \\ x = 800[/tex]

Thus, the original price of the clothes dryer is $800.

x-75%=200

x=200 x 100/75

x=8 x 100

x=800
