Answer 2

12,590 is 80% of the original price, so just divide it by 80 and multiply it by 100



12,590/80= 157.375



157.372*100= 15,737

Answer 3

$15,737.5 x 20% = $3,147.5

$15,737.5 - $3147.5 = $12,590



So original price was $15,737.50

Answer 4

12590 / (1 -.20) = 15737.50

so

12590 / .8 = 15737.50

Answer 5

.8x = 12,590

divide both sides by 0.8

x= 15,737.50

Answer 6

12590/0,8 = your correct result = 15737,5
