Answer:

12, 1260

Step-by-step explanation:

Andrew paid $10 for a burger. The burger had a discount of 20%. This means that the $10 is 80% of the original price.

100% - 80% = 20%

To find the original price, you can multiply by 120%

10 * 120% = 12

Abby Matthews needs to mark up a refrigerator that costs $900 to 140% of the original price. To do this, you can directly multiply.

900 * 140% = 1260
