Answer:

Your original price is $129.99

Explanation:

Original price=current price / (1- discount in percentage form)

15% to decimal form is 0.15

Original Price= $110.49 / (1-0.15)

Original price= $110.49 / 0.85

Original Price= 129.988

Round to the hundreds (since in pricing you don't have more than two decimals) so it would become 129.99

So your final answer would be $129.99

I hoped this helped a little bit :)
