Answer:

$450

Explanation:

The sale price is computed from ...

... sale price = original price - discount

where ...

... discount = (original price) × 26%

Putting these together, we get ...

... sale price = (original price) - 0.26×(original price)

... sale price = (original price) × (1 - 0.26) = 0.74×(original price)

Dividing by 0.74, we find ...

... original price = (sale price)/0.74

... $333/0.74 = $450 = original price
