A garage sells cars it offers a discount of 20% off the normal price for cash dave pays 2500 cash for a car calculate the normal price of the car

Original price=2,500/.80 original price=$3,125

Ok, so the discount is given in a percentage, in this case 20%. The sale price is going to reflect 20% of the original price minus the discount, so ...

Sale$ = original$ - original$ x. 20

If we use some algebra, we can reorganize the equation to solve for the original price ...

Sale $ = original$ - original $ x. 20

Sale $ = original$ (1 -.20)

Sale $ = original$ x. 80

original$ = sale$/.80

So now we can plug in our values

original price = 2500/.80

original price = $3,125
