Answer:

940

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the original price of something that been discount do the following:

  • Subtract the discount from 100 to get the percentage of the original price.
  • Multiply the final price by 100.
  • Divide by the percentage in Step One.

Or we can do the following:

We shall consider the original price as x; hence the discount can be considered as (x−263.20). We can write the equation:

x · 72/100=x - 263.20

x · 18/25 = x - 263.20

Multiply both sides by 25

18x = 25(x - 263.20)

Open the brackets.

18x = 25x-6580

Add 6580 to each side.

6580 +18x = 25x

Subtract 18x from each side.

6580 = 7x

Subtract 7x from each side.

x = 940

Check Answer:

940 * 72% = 676.80

940 - 676.80=263.20

Hence, the regular price is 940.
