Question: Macy's is selling shirts that have been reduced to $6. This price is at 25% of the original price. What was the original price?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The original price is x. The discount is 100% - 25% remaining = 75% discount. The discount is 75%, so the original price is x - .75x = .25x. The sale price is $6, so $6 = .25x, which is the same as 6 / .25 = x. X = $24.
So the answer is 24.

Question: Mike bought a DVD of his favorite movie. He paid $5 for it at the store. A friend of Mike's, Steve, saw this and also decided to buy a DVD of the movie, but it was already sold out. He needed to order it online, which cost him twice as much. And in addition, he needed to pay the shipping costs which were 80% of the price of the film he ordered. How much did Steve pay to get the DVD in total?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: The cost of the movie online was twice what Mike paid, so 2 * 5 = $10. The shopping costs were standing at 80 / 100 * 10 = $8. So in total Steve paid 10 + 8 = $18.
So the answer is 18.
