GamesOnly is having a "30% Off Everything!" sale. They have a PS4 on sale for $182. What was the original price?

I need to find how to put this equation into words ... So I can understand how to solve it. My brain can't understand how that works, only how to find the percentage of a number. Like 12% of 15.

Worth 20 pts and brainliest.

    original price = 260

    Step-by-step explanation:

    original price * percent off = discount

    then subtract the discount

    original price - discount = new price

    so

    original price - original price * percent off = new price

    factor out the original price

    original price (1 - percent off) = new price

    original price = new price / (1 - percent off)

    lets put in what we know

    original price = 182 / (1-.30)

    original price = 182 / (.7)

    original price = 260
