    25% = 0.25

    let x represent the original cost of the dress

    x - 0.25x = 60

    combine like terms

    0.75x = 60

    divide both sides by 0.75

    x = 80

    Since it was 25% off, she paid 75% of the original price.

    75% = 0.75

    $60 = 0.75 times the original price

    Divide each side by 0.75:

    The original price = $60 / 0.75 = $80
