The regular price of the book bag was $38.

Equation

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the regular price of the bag. After applying the coupon:

Price = x - 5

After the discount:

23.10 = (x - 5) -  30% of (x - 5)

23.10 = (x - 5) - (0.3x  - 1.5)

0.7x - 3.5 = 23.10

x = 38

The regular price of the book bag was $38.
