Answer:

The original price of laptop = $1450

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as ,

The selling price of laptop = $1189

The reduction percentage = 18%

Let the original price of laptop = x

SO, x - 18% of x = $1189

Or, [tex]\frac{(100x - 18x)}{100}[/tex] = $1189

Or, 82x =$ 1189 × 100

So, x = [tex]\frac{(118900)}{82}[/tex]

So, x = $1450

Hence The original price of laptop is $1450   Answer
