Step by step:

So we would start by changing the discount to a decimal by moving it to the left 2 times.

So that would be .75

Then you multiply the .75 by the new price which is 175

175 x .75 is 131.35

Then you add the 131.35 with the 175

131.35 + 175 is 306.35

Therefore the original price would be $306.35.

Let me know if you have any questions:)
