Answer:$40

Explanation:

Find the price of the item after the discount was applied.

Find the discount percentage that was applied to the price.

Divide the discount percentage by 100.

Subtract that number from 1.

Divide the after-discount price by that number.

This number is the original price of the item, pre-discount.
