Question

If an item was purchased at $112.00 dollars after a 20% discount what was the original price of the item. I know the answer is 140.00 but I to know the formula that is used to get that answer.
Thanks

The $112 you are paying represents 80% of the original price, since 20% was taken off.
So DIVIDE 112 by .8 to get your 140
