Four sisters bought a present for their mother. They received a 15% discount on the original price of the gift. After the discount was taken, each sister paid $10.20. What was the original price of the gift?
Equation=P-0.15P/4=$10.20
What is P

Equation=P-0.15P/4=$10.20
the equation is correct except that you need brackets
(P-0.15P)/4=$10.20
\(\frac{P-0.15P}{4}=$10.20\\ \frac{P-0.15P}{4}\times 4=$10.20\times 4\\ P-0.15P=$40.80\\ P(1-0.15)=$40.80\\ P(0.85)=$40.80\\ P=$40.80\div 0.85\\ P=$48\)
+2498 10.20x4=40.8 it is the price of gift whith discount
x-0.15x=40.8
75x/100=40.8
x=40.8x100/75
x=54.4 is original price
i am not sure :)

Since each sister paid $10.20 after 15% discount, therefore the price was:
$10.20 X 4=$40.80 after 15% discount, therefore:
$40.80/.85=$48.00 The original price of the gift.
P.S. Your equation is faulty!.
In "Guest"#2, which is mine, I said "your equation is faulty". By that, I meant you set it up slightly wrong. It should look like this: P - .15P=$10.20. This will give you P=$12-the cost per girl BEFORE 15% discount, which is of course right.
