The answer depends on what information you do have.

If you have the price AFTER the change, and a multiplier based on the percentage change, then

original price = final price/multiplier.

For a change of x%, the multiplier is (1+x/100). In the case of a % decrease, x is negative.

What is the original price of a coat if the new price is 18.00 with 15 percent off?

Original price - discount = new price Original price - (Original price x 0.15) = 18.00 Which can be written as: 1 Original price - 0.15 Original price = 18.00 Which can be written as: 0.85 Original price = 18.00 Wich can be written as: Original price = 18.00 / 0.85 Original price = 21.18 Note that since there is 15% off in the original price, the new price is essentially (100% - 15%) = 85% of the original price.
