Danielle likes to purchase items at estate sales, clean them up, then resale them online for a profit. She recently purchased an antique dresser with a mirror at an estate sale, cleaned it up, and advertised it for 250% of her purchase price. Danielle sold the dresser for $255, which was 15% less than the advertised price.

To the nearest whole dollar, how much did Danielle purchase the antique dresser for and what was her initial advertised price?

A. purchase price: $120, advertised price: $300
B. purchase price: $108, advertised price: $270
C. purchase price: $130, advertised price: $325
D. purchase price: $117, advertised price: $293
