If there was 20% taken off you add 20% back on and that is how you will get your answer. So take 760 plus the 20% which gives you 912 dollars

Answer:

The discount was $3040

Step-by-step explanation:

So in this case we just have to add 20% back:

Firstly we represent the original price as an unknown value, 'x'

Let the original price = x

Discount Rate = 20%

Discount = 20% of x = 0.2 * x = 0.2x

Sale Price = $760 = 0.2x

Solve for x next: [tex]\frac{760}{0.2} =\frac{0.2x}{0.2}[/tex]

x = 3800

So, the original price was $3800

How much was the discount?

3800 - 760 = 3040
