Answer:

The old selling price is $192.66

Explanation:

Let the price in 2014 be x

Now the price in 2015 is 9 % more

So, price in 2015 =
x+9\% x

=
x+(9)/(100)x

=
(109)/(100)x

We are also given that In 2015 the price of business math text Rose is $210.

So,
(109)/(100)x=210


x=210 * (100)/(109)


x=192.66

Hence The old selling price is $192.66
