Answer:

$125

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write an equation from the problem statement:

$80 = 0.64 × (total cost)

This is solved by dividing by 0.64.

$80/0.64 = $125 = (total cost)

_____

Of course, you know that ...

64% = 64/100 = 0.64

Both fractions are read as "sixty-four hundredths."
