Ira purchased a new dishwasher for $361.35. The dishwasher was on sale for 17.5% off. What was the original price of the dishwasher, to the nearest dollar?

A 17.5% discount means Ira paid 100% − 17.5% = 82.5% of the original price. Divide the sale price by 0.825: $361.35 ÷ 0.825 = $438. The original price was $438, choice D.
