Step-by-step explanation:
Hello
let's say that the price of the book was x
the price after a 20% discount is x - 20%*x = x*(1-20%)=x*(1-.20)=0.8*x
and this is $72 so we can write that
0.8*x=72
and then divide by 0.8 both parts
x = 72/0.8=90
So the list price value of the book is $90
and we can verify as 90 - 20%*90 = 90 - 18 = 72
Hope this helps
