Answer: $134.40

Step-by-step explanation: Just find 80% of 168. That is because 100 - 20 is 80. The question says 20% OFF.

Hi!,
The person who answered above made a mistake and went the wrong way.

Since the pool is already 20% off the price stated is only 80% (100-20=80) of the original price.

So, divide amount by 80.
168/80 = 2.10

Then multiply by 100 to find 100% price
2.10 x 100 = 210

Answer is $210
