. The sign says that this is $35
less than the original cost. What is the original cost of the phone?

1 answer

To find the original cost of the phone, we need to add $35 to the sale price of $149 since the sale price is $35 less than the original cost.

Original cost = Sale price + $35 = $149 + $35 = $184

Therefore, the original cost of the phone is $184.
