Answer:

$ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Think that, Original price of a towel is $ 100

Using the above we can create a equation like this. Let the Original price of the towel given in the question be x.

Original price                       Discount                           Sale price

     100                                     30                                        70

       x                                                                                    8.40

Now let's make an equation like this,

[tex]\frac{100}{x} =\frac{70}{8.40}[/tex]

Use cross multiplication and solve for the x

100 × 8.40 = 70 x

[tex]840=70x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{840}{70} =\frac{70x}{70}[/tex]

[tex]x=12[/tex]

Therefore, the original price is $ 12

Hope this helps you.
