Answer 2

115

Explanation:

The discount equals the original price times the discount rate.

We know the discount and the discount rate

Discount = original price * discount rate

Change to decimal form

23= original price *.20

Divide each side by .20

23/.20 = original price *.20/.20

115 = original price
