Answer:

The original price is $93.75 if it is 20% off you will pay $75.

Explanation:

1st.) We know the original price is considered 100%

So...Subtract the discount from the original percent.

100% (original percent)

20% (discount percent)

----

80%

2nd.) Make equation. We need the percent to be in decimal form so move the decimal point to the left two places. (80% will now equal 0.8)

0.8x=$75

0.8x/0.8=$75/0.8

x=$93.75

----------------------------

The original price is $93.75 if it is 20% off you will pay $75.
