The camera Melissa wanted for her birthday is on sale at 25% off the usual price. The amount of discount is $105.00 what was the original price of the camera

Let the original price of the camera be denoted as $ P $.

The camera is on sale at 25% off, and the amount of the discount is $105. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

\[
0.25 \times P = 105
\]

To find $ P $, solve for $ P $ by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.25:

\[
P = \frac{105}{0.25}
\]

Now, calculate the original price:

\[
P = 420
\]

So, the original price of the camera was **$420**.
