Hello!

We could write this as an equation below.

0.76x=703

We divide both sides by 0.76.

x=925

Therefore, the regular price is $925.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Multiply the original price with the percentage.

Change the percentage to decimal

24% = 24/100 = 0.24

703 x 0.24 = 168.72

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because the sales price is $703, and you are looking for the regular, add the percentage found to the original.

703 + 168.72 = 871.72

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$871.72 is your regular price.
