X is original price - discount = final price
1x - .60x = 12.5
.4x = 12.5
X = 12.5/.4
X= 31.25

The original price of the shorts is $31.25 and the amount of discount is $18.75

How to be find original price

  • Cost of shorts = $12.50
  • Percentage discount = 60%
  • Original price = x

Amount paid = x - 60% of x

12.50 = x - 0.60x

12.50 = 0.40x

x = 12.50/0.40

x = $31.25

Discount = 60% of 31.25

= 0.60 × 31.25

= $18.75
