the regular price was $116.20
92.96*25%=23.24
23.24+92.96=116.20
hope this helps

If it was 25% off. That means she had to pay 100-25= 75%
75% of the price is what she paid.
Let's represent the price with Y
75% OF Y is 92.96
Of represents multiplication. So
75/100 x Y= 92.96
75/100 in decimal is 0.75
So
0.75 x Y=92.96
Divide both sides by 0.75
Y=92.96/0.75
Y=123.9 approximately 124. The price was 124. Hope I helped. Goodluck
