## Prompt

After a 20% discount, a jacket costs $40. What was the original price? Show your work.

## Response

The original price of the jacket was $50 before the 20% discount.

**Calculation:**
- Let \( P \) be the original price.
- The price after a 20% discount is \( P \times (1 - 0.20) = P \times 0.80 \).
- Set this equal to $40 and solve for \( P \):
  \( 0.80P = 40 \)
  \( P = 40 / 0.80 \)
  \( P = 50 \)

What would the final price be if the discount were 25% instead?
