  Situation 1:

  You take 25% off the price so the new price is 75%.
  How to calculate the old price?

  Let's say the new price is: 150
  Divide this by 3, which makes 50
  Multiply by 4 which makes 200
  The "old" price is 200

  Situation two:

  The price is 25% of what it used to be. In other words, 75% has been deducted.

  Let's say the 25% represents 50
  The "new price" (100%) equals 4 times the 25%. In other words, 4 times 50, which makes 200.
  The "old price" is 200.

  Wasn't that hard was it?
