$160, or answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

If 120 is 25% of the original, or 0.25 of the original(We will call it x), then 120 is 0.75x.

Form an equation like this:  0.75x=120

Turn this into fractions:  3/4x=120/1.

Divide by 3/4 on both sides.

x = 120/1 * 4/3

Simplify to get: 40/1 * 4/1

Multiply to get: 160
