If the 20 off is $20, the original price was $820. If the 20 off is 20%, then the original price was $1000. If there is 20% off then the sale price is 80% of the original price. (100% - 20% = 80%). we need to know what 100% is.

by so doing looking for the percent of one first.

$800 = 80%

divide both sides by 80 to get a percent of 1

$10 = 1%

now multiply both sides by 100 to get

$1000 = 100%

thus the originally TV cost cost $1000.

Original price-20% off= $800

Let x be the original price.

x-.2x=800

.8x=800

x=800/.8

x=100.

15 percent off 680 what is the original price?

You seem to be saying that 15% off gives a discounted price of 680, and asking what the original price was before the discount. Since the price was discounted by 15%, the discounted price is 85% of the original price. Dividing 680 by 0.85 gives 800 as the original price.
