Answer:

C. ₱4500

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are given the "rate of discount" and the "sale price." We are asked to find the base or the initial price in this problem.

We can find the fractional value of the sale price by subtracting the discount rate from 1.

1 - rate = 1 - 15%

1 - rate = 1 - 0.15

1 - rate = 0.85

Now, we can divide the sale price by the new rate to find the original price.

Base = Amount After / (1 - Rate)

Base = ₱3825 / 0.85

Base = ₱4500

Thus, the original price of the tablet is ₱4500.

Hope this helps!
