Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply $78 by by 65/100 to determine the original price.
78 can be put over 1.
Multiply:
[tex] \frac{78}{1} \times \frac{65}{100} = \frac{5070}{100} [/tex]
Simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by 100:
[tex] \frac{5070 \div 100}{100 \div 100} = \frac{50.70}{1} [/tex]
The original price was $50.70.
