Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be x

The discounted price for a clearance sale = 30% of x

If the price tag after discounting = $199.

Using the relationship to find the original price x

Original price - discounted price = Current price tag after discounting

x - 0.3x = 199

0.7x = 199

Divide both sides by 0.7

0.7x/0.7 = 199/0.7

x = $284.29

<em>Hence the suit's original price is approximately $284.29</em>
