    First of all bare in mind that the original price is 100%.The simple way to do it is to use the cross multiplication method.100% which is the original price minus 20% gives you the the amount indicated above which is 80%

    12,590------80&
    x-------------100%

    it now becomes 12,590 * 100 =1259000
    80* x=80x.the equation will now be 80x=1259000.divide both sides by 80 .answer=15737.50
