Discount =35%
let x be the original price
after putting 35 % on x, the final price became 5875.00
hence x-35%of x =5875
x-%2835%2F100%29%2Ax%29+=5875%0D%0A+++++++++++%7B%7B%7Bx-0.35+x=+5875
x%281-0.35%29+=5875+
x%2A0.65+=5875
divide with 0.65 on both sides
x%2A0.65%2F0.65+=5875%2F0.65
+x=+9038.46
Result: Original price = 9038.46
