    Answer:$400

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let them original price be cp

    Selling price=340

    Percentage decrease=15

    Percentage decrease = (cp-sp) / sp x 100

    15 = (cp - 340) / cp x 100

    Cross multiplying

    15cp=100 (cp-340)

    Opening brackets

    15cp=100cp-34000

    Collect like terms

    100cp-15cp=34000

    85cp=34000

    Divide both sides by 85

    85cp ➗ 85=34000 ➗ 85

    cp=400
