## Prompt

After a 20% discount, a jacket costs $40. What was the original price? Show your work.

## Response

The original price of the jacket was **$50**.

## Work

If the jacket costs $40 after a 20% discount, then $40 represents 80% of the original price (100% − 20% = 80%).

Set up the equation:

\[ 0.80 \times \text{Original Price} = 40 \]

Solve for the original price:

\[ \text{Original Price} = \frac{40}{0.80} = 50 \]

**Verification:** 20% of $50 = $10, and $50 − $10 = $40 ✓
