Nick bought a video game for $55, which was 20% off the original price. What was the original price?

Since $55 would be 80% of the original (since it was 20% off) you would divide the $55 by 4 to get 1/5 if the original price ($13.75) and multiply it by 5 to get the original price. $13.75x5=$68.75

Nick bought the video game for $55, which was after a 20% discount. To find the original price, we divide $55 by 0.80, which gives us an original price of $68.75. Therefore, the original price of the video game was $68.75.
