Answer:

$93.75

Explanation:

The formula for finding original prices is o = s over 1 - d, in which o is the original price, s is the sale price, and d is the discount. Let’s go ahead and plug our numbers in: o = 75 over 1 - 0.2. (Remember 20% equals 20 ÷ 100.)

75 over 1 - 0.2 equals 75 over 0.8. Now we find out how much that is in whole numbers. 75 ÷ 0.8 = 93.75, o.
