Answer:

$585

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a discount of 20% and the price is reduced by $117, then that means :

  • 20% of Original Price (T) = $117
  • 0.2T = 117
  • T = 117/0.2
  • T = 117 x 5
  • T = $585

Answer: The original price of the fridge is $585

Step-by-step explanation:

Given she discounts all prices of the fridges by 20%

This 20% is the reduced price of the original cost.

Solve for per unit:

20% ⇒ $117

1% ⇒ $(117/20) = $5.85

Recall, the original price is always of 100%

100% ⇒ $5.85 × 100 = $585
