original price is $480

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price = y


\begin{gathered} 28\text{ \% of original price = \$}134.40 \\ 28\text{ = 0.28} \\ 0.28\text{ }*\text{ original price = \$}134.40 \\ 0.28(y)\text{ = }134.40 \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{divide through by 0.28:} \\ y\text{ = }(134.4)/(0.28) \\ y\text{ = 480} \end{gathered}

Hence, the original price is $480
