ANSWER


The original price was

[tex]355 \frac{5}{7} \: dollars[/tex]



EXPLANATION

Let the original price be
[tex]x \: dollars[/tex]

This original price corresponds to
[tex]100\%[/tex]


When 30℅ is off, then the remaining percentage is 70℅.


This implies that,

[tex]70\% \: of \: x = 249[/tex]


Or

[tex]0.7x = 249[/tex]


We divide both sides by 0.7 to get,


[tex]x = \frac{249}{0.7} [/tex]

[tex]x = 355 \frac{5}{7} [/tex]


The original price was $ 355.71 to the nearest hundredth.
