Given:
The original price is given by 'p'
The equation describing the situation is given as:
[tex]p-0.25p=68.25[/tex]Solving for p ,
[tex]\begin{gathered} p(1-0.25)=68.25 \\ p(0.75)=68.25 \\ p=\frac{68.25}{0.75} \\ p=91 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the original price 'p' of the CD player is $ 91.
