to calculate original price we can write an expression

you multiply the original price by percent of discount(subtracting 100) dividing between 100 and obtain the final price


x*(100-15)/(100)=146.54

where x is the original price

simplify


\begin{gathered} x*(85)/(100)=146.54 \\ \\ x*0.85=146.54 \\ x=(146.54)/(0.85) \\ \\ x=172.40 \end{gathered}

Original price was $172.40
