Siam bought tv in January sales which had been reduced by 20 per cent. If she paid 290 for it what was the original price? $362.50

X=original price.
20%=20/100=0.2
We can suggest the next equation to solve this problem:

x-0.2x=290

We solve this equation:
x-0.2x=290
0.8x=290
x=290/0.8
x=362.5

the original price was £362.5.

32.10 is the correct answer
