Sarah bought a TV at a 15% discount. Later she found that there should have been a 20% discount, so the store gave her $17 back. What was the original price of the TV before it was discounted?

Answer:

Explanation:

The store gave her back the difference (20%-15%= 5%)

5%= the $17 returned

100/5= 20

20*17= $340 which was the original price of the TV before discounts
