100 - 35 = 65%
65% = the full value before discount
Convert 65% to decimal
65 / 100 = 0.65
Divide 130 pounds by the decimal
130 ÷ 0.65 = 200
200 pounds is the original price of coat before the discount.

35% discount. Thus the sale price is 65% of original price.
65% = 130 pounds.
1% = 2 pounds.
100% = 200 pounds.
Thus the orginal price is 200 pounds.

If we let "x" equal the original price (in pounds), then we can set up an equation where x minus the product of x and 35% equals the price of 130 pounds:
x - (x * 0.35) = 130 --- Work in the parentheses...
x - 0.35x = 130 --- Combine like terms...
0.65x = 130 --- Divide both sides by 0.65...
x = 200
Answer: The original price was 200 pounds.

35% discount means that the sale price is 65% of the original price. Let OP = original price and SP = sales price. Then SP = 0.65 x OP. Therefore OP = SP/0.65
OP = 130/0.65 = 13000/65 = 200. The original price was 200 pounds.
Check
200 x 0.35 = 70 is the reduction and the sales price is 200 - 70 = 130.
There ya go.
