Solution

The correct option is B $ $32$
$\Rightarrow$ Customer paid $$ 24$ for dress after discount of $25 %$ . That means customer paid $75 %$ of the original price.
$\Rightarrow$ If $75 %$ is $$ 24$ , how much is $100 %$
$∴$ Original price = $\frac{100 \times 24}{75} = $ 32$
$∴$ Original price of dress is $$ 32$
