Answer:
original price = 260
Step-by-step explanation:
original price * percent off = discount
then subtract the discount
original price - discount = new price
so
original price - original price * percent off = new price
factor out the original price
original price( 1- percent off) = new price
original price = new price/ ( 1- percent off)
lets put in what we know
original price = 182/(1-.30)
original price = 182/(.7)
the smallest part is 2
lets take x as the smallest part
then the largest part=3x
the middle sized part=2x
x+2x+3x=12
6x=12
x=12/6
x=2
therefore the smallest part is equal to 2
