The value of Maggie's car decreased by 20% since last year, when she bought it. If the car is now worth $20,000.00, how much was the car worth when she bought it?

20,000 = 80% of the original price so 20,000 divided by 80 = 250 then multiply that by 100 equals 250000 which is the original price

hope this helps !
