    Your original price would have been $16.23

    Explaination:

    Take the new markup price and divide it by the percent it was marked up

    17.85 / 1.10 = 16.227

    1.10 represents 110%

    Round your ending number cause there are only two place holders after the decimal for calculating prices. By doing this we change $16.227 to $16.23.
