Answer:

the original price was $324.

Explanation:

since 20% of $270 is $54, you add the $54 and get $324.

hope this helps! best of luck <3 (also i didn't include tax; it didn't specify and also i don't know the tax for your region)

Answer:

The original price is 337.50

Explanation:

If we get 20% off, we still have to pay 100-20 =80%

Let x be the original price

x *80% = 270

.80x = 270

Divide each side by .80

.80x/.80 = 270/.80

x =337.50

The original price is 337.50
