I'm gonna buy a shirt on sale that was 20% less than it's original price. The original price was five dollars more than the sale price what was the original price?

The original price is $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original price

If the shirt was sold on a 20% discount. Then the sale price is 80/100x

The original price was five dollars more than the sale price.

To put this in an equation

X = 5 + 80/100x

X-0.8X = 5

0.2x = 5

X = 5/0.2

X = $25
