The list price was $465 (465=387.5 / (5/6))according to the information on the question above. This problem can be solved using the percentage and fraction principle of the mathematics. In this problem, 16 and two-thirds % is equal to the one-sixth fraction, therefore, the current price is the 5/6 portion of the list price.
