Answer 2

$223.

Explanation:

Let x be the original price of phone.

We are told that Terry sees this offer refurbished phone 35% off now only $78.

We need to find x such that 35% of x is 78. We can represent this information as:

`(35)/(100) x=78`

`0.35 x=78`

`x=(78)/(0.35)`

`x=222.8571428571428571\approx 223`

Therefore, the original price of phone was $223.
