9 dollars represents 90% of the cost. Divide 9 by 0.90 to get the original price, 10 dollars

Answer:

The original price of the gift was $40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the gift be = x

Discount of 10% on the gift and each sister paid $9 means a total of [tex]4\times9=36[/tex] dollars

We can write this information mathematically like :

[tex]x-0.10x=36[/tex]

Solving for x now;

[tex]0.90x=36[/tex]

x = $40

So, the original price of the gift was $40.
