Answer:

$72

Explanation:

Sale % = 20%

Sale price = $60 .

Regular price = (100+20)% = 120%

So that ,

=> Cost = $60 * 120/100

=> Cost = $72

Hey there!

What you do is find how much was taken off and add that to the price

60*.2= 12

12 was taken off of the original price

Now add:
60+12= 72

So the regular price was $72
