Discount percent = 33%

Sale price = $268

Let the original price be $x.

So,

[tex]x - (33\% \: of \: x) = 268 \\ = > x - ( \frac{33}{100} \times x) = 268 \\ = > x - ( \frac{33x}{100}) = 268 \\ = > \frac{100x}{100} - \frac{33x}{100} = 268 \\ = > \frac{(100x - 33x)}{100} = 268 \\ = > \frac{67x}{100} = 268 \\ = > 67x = 268 \times 100 \\ = > 67x = 26800 \\ = > x = \frac{26800}{67} \\ = > x = 400[/tex]

So, yesterday the price was $400.
