Sale Price(SP)= 217.95
Discount = 10%
Original Price(OP) = ?
Suppose OP is 100, then the SP after 10% discount would be 90
SP : OP
90 : 100
217.95 : ?
OP = 217.95 x 100/90
OP = $242.17
Discount = 10%
Original Price(OP) = ?

I never thought of using ratios. Thanks
To find the original price:
Find the complement of the discount percent. (100% minus the discount percent)
In this case: 100% - 10% = 90%
Then, divide the reduced price by 90% (changed to a decimal number, 90% = 0.90)
The result is the original price before the discount.
