To find the original list price (let's denote it as \( P \)), we can use the formula for the discount, which is given by:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Discount Rate} \times \text{Original Price}
\]
Given that the discount is $35 and the discount rate is 10%, we can express this in equation form:
\[
35 = 0.10 \times P
\]
Now, we can solve for \( P \) by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.10:
\[
P = \frac{35}{0.10}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
P = 350
\]
Thus, the original list price is **$350**.
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Discount Rate} \times \text{Original Price}
\]
