While Hugh was driving to work, he noticed a sign in a store window that said he could save \(\$120\) on a color TV that was specially discounted 20%. What was the original price of the set?

Explanation

The question comes down to this: 20% of what number equals \( \$120\)? To find the answer, divide 120 by 20%, or 0.2.
\(120 \div 0.2=600\)
The original price of the set was \( \$600\).
