Answer:

$391.52

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price was 100% of the original price.

Since it was sold at 34% off, then since 100% - 34% = 66%, it was sold for 66% of the original price.

Let the original price = x.

66% of x = $258.40

0.66x = 258.4

x = 258.4/0.66

x = 391.52

Answer: $391.52
