hi

let's call X the orignal price.

to rise a price of  T% is  to multiply it  by 1 +T/100

Now what we know ?  

we have according to initial data :  

T =20     so increase factor is  1+ 20/100 = 1.2

So :   1.2 X = 890

               X = 890 /1.2

               X = 741.67

Original price is  741.67 dollars

Lets'check :  

20% of  741.67 is  :  741.66 *0.2 = 148.33

so :  741.67 +148.33 = 890
