$96 is paid as an outstanding amount which is 80%
8% of 96 = 9.6
4% of 96 = 4.8
2% of 96 = 2.4
overall
20% of 96 = 2*(8% + 2%) => 24
and 80% + 20% => 96+24 = 120
SO, THE ANSWER IS 120

Hi ,
Let the Total cost of the T.V = $ x
Amount deposited by Sarah = 20% of x
Remaining amount she has to pay = 80% of x
80% of x = $ 96 ( given )
( 80/100 ) × x = 96
x = ( 96 × 100 )/80
x = 120
Therefore ,
Total cost of the T.V = x = $ 120
I hope this helps you.
