Let the original price be $$ P $$.

Since the item was purchased at a 20% discount, Joyce paid 80% of the original price. Therefore, we have:
$$
0.8 \, P = 152.00
$$

To solve for $$ P $$, divide both sides of the equation by $$ 0.8 $$:
$$
P = \frac{152.00}{0.8}
$$

Calculating the division:
$$
P = 190.00
$$

Thus, the original price was $$ \$190.00 $$.
The original price was \$190.00.
