<PRE><B>Question 837575</B>


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.
