Answer: 1.44

Step-by-step explanation:

(original price) - (1/6 of the original price) = 1.20

If you let x = original price, then the equation is:

x - 1/6 x = 1.20

5/6 x = 1.20

x = 1.44

the original price is £1.44.

Answer:

£1.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the original price was reduced by 1/6, that means the new price is 5/6 of the original price.

Let x = original price.

Write an equation and solve it.

5/6 x = £1.20

x = £1.20 × 6/5

x = £1.44
