The original sales price is $9.

A discount reduces the price an item is sold. After the 75% discount, the sales price is 25% ( 100 - 75%) of the original price.

The equation that can be used to represent the sales price of the item is:

$2.25 = 25% x p

Where p = original sales price.

Original price = $2.25 / 25%

= $2.25 / 0.25 = $9.
