20% = .2

7 - .2 = 5.6


The cost of the original pizza was $7.00.

Answer:

$7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that HOT PIZZA offers 20% discount.

Now, Ali payed $5.60 with the discount included, this means that Ali only payed a 80% of the original price, that is, $5.60 represents 80% of x, where x represents the original price. So, we can elaborate the following relation

[tex]0.80x=5.60[/tex]

Which means that 80% of the original price is $5.60. Then, we solve for [tex]x[/tex]

[tex]0.80x=5.60\\x=\frac{5.60}{0.80}\\ x=7[/tex]

Therefore, the original price is $7.
