Well if it's $112 less and the price is now $478. You just have to add $112 to $478= $590.

Answer:

$590.

Explanation:

Let x be the original price of computer.

We have been given that a store decreased its price on a computer by $112 to $478.

This means x minus 112 equals to 478. We can represent this information in an equation as:


x-\$112=\$478

Let us add $112 to both sides of our equation.


x-\$112+\$112=\$478+\$112


x=\$590

Therefore, the original price of computer was $590.
