Answer 2

Answer:

The original price of the item is $200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be 'x'.

The sale price of an item is $160 after a 20% discount.

i.e. original price - 20% of original price = $160

x-20/100x=160

x-0.2x=160

0.8x=160

x=160/0.8

x=200

Therefore, the original price of the item is $200.

hope this helped :))
