What is the original price if it is 20% off and you pay $75?
--------------------------------------------------------------
1st.) We know the original price is considered 100%
So...Subtract the discount from the original percent.
100% (original percent)
20% (discount percent)
----
80%
-----------------------------
2nd.) Make equation. We need the percent to be in decimal form so move the decimal point to the left two places. (80% will now equal 0.8)
0.8x=$75
0.8x/0.8=$75/0.8
x=$93.75
----------------------------
The original price is $93.75 if it is 20% off you will pay $75.
