    85

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The discount is original price times the percent off

    The sale price is the original price minus the discount

    original price - original price * 20 % = 68

    Factor out the original price and change the percent to a decimal

    original price (1 -.20) = 68

    original price (.80) = 68

    Divide each side by. 80

    original price = 68/.80

    original price = 85
