You can put this solution on YOUR website!
He has 20% off, that means the price he paid is at 80%, so $80 is 80% of the original price.
\n" ); document.write( "Now let's find 1% of the original price
\n" ); document.write( "$80 : 80 = $1
\n" ); document.write( "So 1% of the original price will be $1, now you want to find the original price, that means you need 100%, let's do it
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2A100+=+100\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So your original price is $100
\n" ); document.write( "TA-DAH
\n" ); document.write( ":D \n" ); document.write( "
