Answer: after you apply the 20% discount it is 280. now take away 40 from 280 to get its original price. which is 240

Step-by-step explanation: To take 20% off of the price, you first do 350x. 2 (.2 is 20% in decimal form) then when you get that answer subtract the amount of 20% from 350. thats 280
