Answer:

The original price of the object was $140

Explanation:

Let the original price be x

Since, the price has dropped to 35% it has become$91.00

That means if total was 100% out of which 35% is dropped it has become 65%

Then the original price of x would be (91*100)/65= 140

Therefore, The original price was $140.
