Answer:

The original price is $200

Explanation:

1. Find the percentage for which you paid for the hard drive. 100% - 54% = 46%.

2. Convert percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100. 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46

3. Divide the sale price by the percentage of which you paid for the hard drive. 92 ÷ 0.46 = 200

4. Therefore, the original price of the hard drive is $200.
