Step-by-step explanation:

Michael purchased camping equipment and used a coupon that gave him 25% off the total. He paid $235. What was the price of the equipment before the discount?

To solve this, we will first find 25% of  $235 and then add it to $235

25% of $235 =  25/100   ×$235

                        =$5875/100

                         =$58.75

The  original price before the discount was $235 + $58.75 =$293.75
