100\%-40\%=60\%\\60\% = (60)/(100)=(6)/(10)=(3)/(5)\\\\

Numerator is 3 and denominator is 5. So, we divide the sales price by 3 and we multiply by 5 to get the whole fraction, or 100%.


(56.78*5)/(3) \\(283.9)/(3) \\94.6333333333333...

Your regular price sounds recurring, so you might have made a mistake copying.

The answer for what you've got is 94.633333...
