Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) $399 = 84% of the original amount

Divide both sides by 84 to get what one percent would be

$4.75 = 1%

Then multiply both sides to get one hundred percent [the original price]

$475 =100%

Use this method to do the second question

$450.50 = 85%

Divide by 85

$5.30 = 1%

Multiply by 100

$530 = original price
530
