Answer:

option b $190

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be  x

Discount price = 15% of x

Selling price = 161.50

Price after discount : x - (15% of x ) = 161.50

                               [tex]x - 15\% \times x = 161.50\\\\x - \frac{15}{100}x = 161.50\\\\\frac{100x -15x}{100} =161.50\\\\\frac{85}{100}x = 161.50\\\\x = \frac{161.50 \times 100}{85} = 190[/tex]
