    The original price of the laptop is 840

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here, we want to calculate the original price of a laptop, given the amount that was paid off and the discount percentage enjoyed.

    Firstly, let's add back the 50 taken off. That makes a total of 50 + 664 = 714

    Now, we remember he was also given 15% off. Let the price paid be x;

    The 15% of x is equal the difference between x and the 714

    Thus;

    15/100 * x = x - 714

    15x/100 = (x-714)

    15x = 100 (x-714)

    15x = 100x - 71400

    100x-15x = 71400

    85x = 71400

    x = 71400/85

    x = 840
