Answer:

1500 = original price

Step-by-step explanation:

New price of computer = original price - original price * percent off

Factoring out the original price

New price of computer = original price (1- percent off)

We know the new price = 1200 and the percent off =20

Substituting these value in

1200 = original price (1-.2)

1200 = original price (.8)

Divide each side by .8

1200/.8 = original price*.8/.8

1500 = original price
