At a surf shop in Malibu, California, a used blue surfboard is on sale for $100. According to the salesperson, the new price represents a 20% discount from the original price. What did it sell for originally?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$125

Step-by-step explanation:

if there was a discount of 20%, the sales price is 100 - 20 = 80% of the original price

let a = original price

this equation can be used to represent the question

a x 0.8 = 100 ]]divide both sides by 0.8

a = 100 / 0.8 = 125
