Answer:

The original price of her purchase was $65.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you know that $13 represents 20% of the original price and you can use a rule of three to find the value that represents 100%, which would be the original pice of her purchase:

$13 →  20%

 x   ← 100%

x=(13*100)/20

x=1300/20

x=65

According to this, the answer is that the original price of her purchase was $65.
