Answer

$\$56.95$

Work Step by Step

Let the discounted cost be $d$. Then $d=p-\$12.95$ Original price $p$ is obtained by adding $\$12.95$ to both sides of the equation. $d+\$12.95=p-\$12.95+\$12.95$ $\implies p=d+\$12.95$ In the image provided with the question, it is shown that $d=\$44$ $\implies p=\$44+\$12.95=\$56.95$
