Answer:

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

this is basically asking 575 is the new price after a 15% increase what is the value before this increase?

to get 575 a number was multiplied by 1.15

this means we can divide 575 by 1.15 to reverse this

= 500

Checking

15% of 500 is in fact 75

thus 500 + 75 = 575

correct

if anything doesnt make sense let me know in the comments
