Answer:

£480

Step-By-Step Explanation:

x = the original price of a computer

£x = 100% of the original price

The price of a computer was decreased by 30% to £336.

This means:

£336 = 100% - 30%

£336 = 70% of the original price

From this, we will find 1% of the original price.

£336 ÷ 70 = 1%

£4.8 = 1%

Since the original price ( x ) = 100% of the original price, we will find 100% of the original price.

£4.8 × 100 = 100%

£480 = 100%

Therefore, the original price of a computer = £480
