% Increase in price = 75%
 Amount increase in price = $30

Let the total amount after increase in  pirce = $x

SO we get the equation as ....

 75% of x = $ 30

 75 /100 * x = 30 

 0.75 * x = 30
   
   x = 30 / 0.75
   
   x = $40 

Therfore total amount after increase in  pirce = $40

Now to calculate original or wholesale price .....

Total amount after increase in price = original price + increase in price
  
  $40   =  oirginal price + $30 

 40  - 30 =  original price

or original or whole price = $10
