1) Pick a variable for the original price.
2) In terms of this variable, write an expression for "45% of" the original price.
3) Subtract the discount (your expression in (2)) from the variable.
4) Set your difference from (3) equal to the discounted price.
5) Solve for the variable.

P.S. Please post any future algebra exercises to one of the "algebra" categories. Thank you.
