Let the original price be x.

The discount is 10% of original price. So discount is,

[tex]\frac{10}{100}\cdot x=0.1x[/tex]

The selling price after 10% discout is,

[tex]x-0.1x=0.9x[/tex]

The selling price price is $62.96. So equation is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.9x=62.96 \\ x=\frac{62.96}{0.9} \\ =69.955 \\ \approx69.96 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So original price is 69.96.

Answer: 69.96
