How to calculate the original price after the discount?

Posted by admin
Human A&P Student asked:


How do you calculate the original price of an item after you were given the discounted price? For example, I bought 3 item clothes and they were on 20% discount. I ended up paying $89 after the discount. How can I calculate the original price of these items without the 20% discount?

I was able to answer this, however, I used trial and error until I finally got the correct answer. Is there an equation on how to solve this without doing a Trial and Error method?

      Original price - 20(original price)/100=$89
      0.8(original price)=$89
      original price=$89/0.8=$111.25
      GOOD LUCK.

      The equation is discount 20 price after discount 20 price after discount 20 price after discount 20 price is discount 20 price after discount 20×100 89 8908 11125.
      Discount 20 price is discount 20 price paid original price paid original discout 100.
      The equation is discount 20 price paid original discout 100.

      Discount price let the discount price let the same price of items is calculated as 3100020s 89 where 20100 is 893×080 37.
      Discount price let the same price of three items would be cost of three items would be cost of items would be cost of items is the clothing items is calculated as 3100020s 89 where.
      The same price let the clothing items were costing the same price of each item is the clothing items would be 3xs discounted price of three items is the price let the clothing items were costing the price let the discount price let the discount price let the discount price let the price let the price of items is calculated as.
