Answer
The original price of the grill was 200 dollars.
Work Step by Step
Let p represent the original price of the grill. We can use the basic discount guideline to set up an algebraic equation.
Original selling price - Discount = Discount sale price
Original selling price = p
Discount = 30% $\times$ p = 0.3p
Discount sale price = 140
So,
p - 0.3p = 140
0.7p = 140
Divide both sides by 0.7.
p = 200
The original price of the grill was 200 dollars.
