To prove

As given

Iliana signed up for a store credit card with no annual fee to get a discount of 12.5 percent off her entire first purchase.

If she saved $7.29 on her first purchase by using this credit card.

12.5% is written in the decimal form.

= 0.125

Let us assume that the total price of the items before the discount be x.

Than the equation becomes

x × 0.125 = 7.29

x = $58.32

Therefore the total price of the items before the discount is  $58.32 .
