Answer:

First, you did not exactly state what the original price was or maybe that's how the question is worded, but in this scenario the original price of the freezer would be x because they did not tell us.

Explanation:

A 20 percent discount is 0.20 in decimal format. For example if the original price was $20, then you would multiply 0.2 by $20 to get $4.00. In this question i would say the original price would be x, so then it would be 0.2x.

Hope this helps:)
