Answer:

The original cost is $130

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

We are told that Rey paid $91 for a watch that was on sale for 30%

let the original cost be x

so that 30% off x= $91 --------not the word  OFF not OF

Required

the original cost x

Step two

hence

x- 30/100*x= 91

x-0.3x=91

0.7x= 91

divide both sides by 0.7

x= 91/0.7

x=$130
