Answer:

$22.50

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is 30% off, $15.75 is 70% of the full price. You can then divide 15.75 by 70 [= 0.225] to get 1% of the full price. Multiply 0.225 by 100 to get the full price. 0.225 x 100 = 22.5

We can check that this answer is correct by multiplying 22.50 by 0.7. If you get 15.75 you know the answer is correct as 15.75 is 70% of the full price.
