    The original price is $28.57

    If the discount is 30% then the amount paid is 70% of the original price. Sally paid $20, it is the discounted price, equivalent to 70%.

    We need to divide $20 by 70% to get the original price or the 100%.

    $20 / 70% = $28.57 original price.

    Since the handbag was has discount of 30%, we multiply the original price with the 30% to get the discount value.

    $28.57 * 30% = $8.57 discount

    To check: deduct the discount from the original price to get the discounted price.

    $28.57 - $8.57 = $20 discounted price. price paid by Sally
