Answer:

Answer 1

£4

Explanation:

Let's assume that the normal price of the toy is x.

If the normal price is reduced by 20%, it means that the sale price is 80% of the normal price, or 0.8x.

We know that the sale price is £3.20, so we can set up an equation:

0.8x = 3.20

To solve for x, we can divide both sides by 0.8:

x = 3.20 ÷ 0.8

x = 4

Therefore, the normal price of the toy is £4.
