Answer 1

20% = .2

7 - .2 = 5.6

The cost of the original pizza was $7.00.

Answer 2

$7.

Explanation:

We know that HOT PIZZA offers 20% discount.

Now, Ali payed $5.60 with the discount included, this means that Ali only payed a 80% of the original price, that is, $5.60 represents 80% of x, where x represents the original price. So, we can elaborate the following relation

`0.80x=5.60`

Which means that 80% of the original price is $5.60. Then, we solve for
`x`

`0.80x=5.60\\x=(5.60)/(0.80)\\ x=7`

Therefore, the original price is $7.
