Answer:

143

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = original price

20% of the original price is .2x

We get 20 % off so we subtract it from the original price

x- .2 x

That is equal to 114.40

x-.2x = 114.40

Simplify

.8x = 114.40

Divide each side by .8

.8x/.8 = 114.40/.8

x = 143

The original price is 143
