Answer:

$800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original price of the speakers.

$34 more than one quarter of the original price can be represented by 1/4x + 34.

Set this equal to 234, the price he paid, to create an equation.

1/4x + 34 = 234 is the equation for the problem.

Solve for x in the equation:

1/4x + 34 = 234

1/4x = 200

x = 800

So, the original price of the speakers was $800
