Answer: The original price= $116.43


Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be 'x'.

Decreased price 35% of x

New price=$75.68

According to the given question

x-35% of x= $75.68

[tex]\Rightarrow\ x-0.35x=75.68\\\\\Rightarrow\ x(1-0.35)=75.68\\\\\Rightarrow\ x(0.65)=75.68\\\\\Rightarrowx\frac{75.68}{0.65}=116.4307\approx116.43[/tex]

Therefore, the original price= $116.43
