Solution:
Given that,
Sales price of laptop = $ 944.30
It is on sale for 30% off
To find: Original price of laptop before the discount
Let "x" be the original price of laptop before the discount
From given,
original price = sales price + 30 % of original price
x = 944.30 + 30 % of x
[tex]x = 944.30 + \frac{30}{100} \times x\\\\x = 944.30 + 0.3x\\\\x - 0.3x = 944.30\\\\0.7x = 944.30\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 0.7\\\\x = 1349[/tex]
Thus the original price of laptop before the discount is $ 1349
