Mary bought a desk on sale for 88.40. This price was 74% less than the original price.

What was the original price?

Been seeing several bots answering questions with a link. Please don’t do that lol.

Answer: 340

Step-by-step explanation:

100 - 74 = 26%

26% = .26

x * .26 = 88.4

/.26 /.26

x = 340

check

340 * .74 = 251.6

340 - 251.6 = 88.4
