Answer:

  $326.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked price plus the tax gives the final price.

  final price = (marked price) + 0.08 × (marked price)

  final price = 1.08 × (marked price) . . . . . factor out marked price

  (final price)/1.08 = marked price . . . . . . . divide by the multiplying factor

  $352.08/1.08 = marked price = $326

The marked price of the desk was $326.
