Answer:

The original price of the item is $440.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a discount for 25% and the resulting price is 330, then 330 is 75% of the original price.

Because of the way my brain works, my first thought was that if $330 is 75% of the original price then, 1/3 of 330 would be 25% of the original price. So, I multiplied 330 by 1/3 and got 110. Then I added 110 and 330 to get 440, the original price.
