There are several ways.
the sale price is 100%-20%=80% of the original price.
.8*x=84.00
8x/10=84
8x=840
4x=420
x=105 original price
check
80% of 105 is 84.
8/10*105=84
8/(2*5)*105=4*21=84
ok

If the sale price is $84.00 & the discount is 20%, how do I find the original price?
sales price is 4/5 the original price (100% - 20% = 80% or 4/5)
multiply the sales price times the reciprocal of 4/5 which is 5/4
5/4 * $84 = $105 is original price
