If you have only the sale price you cannot find the original price. You need to know the discount rate.
The answer depends on what information you have. If the sale price is s and the sale discount is d% then original price = 100*s/(100 - d)
If the discount is D percent and the sale price is S, then the original price was S*100/(100-D)
30 percent reduction means it is now selling at 70 percent of its original price. 70/100 = 17309 Divide 17309 by 70 to find 1% and then multiply the quotient by 100 to find its original price. 17309/70 = 247.2714286 247.2714286*100 = 24727.14286 dollars which is its original price. Answer: 24727 dollars correct to the nearest dollar.
If there has been a discount of 20% then the price you paid is 80% of the oroginal price. You will need to divide the price you paid by 80 and multiply that answer by 100 to get ther original price.
