    1500 = original price

    Step-by-step explanation:

    New price of computer = original price - original price * percent off

    Factoring out the original price

    New price of computer = original price (1 - percent off)

    We know the new price = 1200 and the percent off = 20

    Substituting these value in

    1200 = original price (1-.2)

    1200 = original price (.8)

    Divide each side by. 8

    1200/.8 = original price*.8/.8

    1500 = original price
