After a 20% discount, you're left with 80% of the original price.
(0.80) x (the original price) = $56
Divide each side by 0.80 :
the original price = $56 / 0.8 = $70
The original price of an item that costs $56 after a 20% discount is $70. This is calculated by recognizing that after a 20% discount, 80% of the original price is paid. Dividing $56 by 0.80 gives the original price.
