Answer 1

The answer is $81.25. Because you take the equation x times .8 = 65 and solve for x.

Answer 2

Answer: The original price was $81.25.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Price at which a customer purchased a jacket = $65

This was 80% of the original price .

so, Let the original price be x

According to question,

`(80)/(100)* x=65\\\\x=(65* 100)/(80)\\\\x=\$81.25`

So, the original price was $81.25.
