Let's call the purchase cost before shipping "x".
The shipping fee is 7% of the purchase cost, so the shipping fee can be calculated as 0.07x.
We are given that the total cost of shipping is $30.25, so we can set up the equation: 0.07x = 30.25.
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.07: x = 30.25 / 0.07 = $432.14.
Therefore, the purchase price before shipping was added is $432.14.
