Answer: The original price was $81.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Price at which a customer purchased a jacket = $65

This was 80% of the original price .

so, Let the original price be x

According to question,

[tex]\frac{80}{100}\times x=65\\\\x=\frac{65\times 100}{80}\\\\x=\$81.25[/tex]

So, the original price was $81.25.
