Answer:
$170
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price was 100% of the original price since 100% is the entire amount.
The discount on the original price was 30%. That means the discounted price was 100% minus 30% of the original price. That makes the discounted price 70% of the original price.
You are told that the discounted price is $119.
That means that 70% of the original price is $119.
70% as a decimal is 0.7
Let the original price be x.
70% of x is $119
0.7 * x = 119
0.7x = 119
Divide both sides by 0.7
x = 119/0.7
x = 170
Answer: The original price was $170
