If the price was reduced by 15%, then that means you paid 85% of the original price. (100% - 15% = 85%)

So, you can say “$182.75 is 85% of the original price.”

If we translate that into algebra, with x being the original price:
$182.75 is 85% of the original price.
182.75 = 0.85 • x

You need to solve 182.75 = 0.85x for x.

Can you take it from there?
