SOLUTION:

Case: Percentages

Method:

The sale price after 30% off is $6800

Let the original price be 'x'

30% off means 70% of the original price

$\begin{gathered} (70)/(100)* x=6800 \\ 0.7x=6800 \\ x=(6800)/(0.7) \\ x=9714.2857 \end{gathered}$

Final answer: (Nearest cents)

The original price was $9714.29
