    The original price of the skateboard is $175

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Say the original price is p

    Discount is 20% and the skateboard is $140, say the skateboard price is s

    Original price - 20% of original price = skateboard price

    p - (20/100) p = $140

    p - 0.2p = $140

    0.8p = $140

    Divide both side by 0.8

    p = $140/0.8

    p = $175

    The original price is therefore $175
