We know that
• The sale price is $312.
,
• The desk is 35% off.
We just have to divide to find the regular price. Remember that 35% is equivalent to 0.35. It's important to notice that $312 represents 65% of the regular price since is 35% lower. Now, we use the rule of three: If $312 represents 65%, how much would represent 100%?
Therefore, the regular price is $480.
