Answer:
The original price is $200
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the percentage for which you paid for the hard drive. 100% - 54% = 46%.
2. Convert percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100. 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
3. Divide the sale price by the percentage of which you paid for the hard drive. 92 ÷ 0.46 = 200
4. Therefore, the original price of the hard drive is $200.
