Answer:

The original price was $80.

Explanation:

The original price is x.

x is the full original price, so it is 100% of the original price.

The sale is 35%, so we subtract 35% from 100%.

100% - 35% = 65%

Since the discount was 35%, then the sale price is only 65% of the original price.

65% of the original price is $52

65% * x = 52

0.65x = 52

x = 52/0.65

x = 80

Answer: The original price was $80.
