Answer
The original price of the digital camera was 350 dollars.
Work Step by Step
Let p represent the original price of the digital camera. We can use the basic discount guideline to set up an algebraic equation.
Original selling price - Discount = Discount sale price
Original selling price = p
Discount = 30% $\times$ p = 0.3p
Discount sale price = 245
We substitute these values into the above equation to obtain:
p - 0.3p = 245
0.7p = 245
Divide both sides by 0.7.
p = 350
The original price of the digital camera was 350 dollars.
