Given:

A table is on sale for 38% off, The sale price of table is $527.00.

To find:

The regular price of the table.

Step by step solution:

To solve this problem, we need to use the basic formula of sales price and discount:

Sale price = $527.00

Discount percentage= 38%


\begin{gathered} \text{sale price = cost price - discount }*\text{ \lparen cost price \rparen} \\ \\ 527=cp-(38)/(100)(cp) \\ \\ 527=(62)/(100)(cp) \\ \\ cp=(52,700)/(62) \\ \\ cp=850 \end{gathered}

From here we can say that the Cost-price / Regular price of the table is equal to $850.
