Answer:

Let's use "P" to represent the regular price of the table.

If the table is on sale for 68% off, then the sale price is 100% - 68% = 32% of the regular price.

We know that the sale price is $147.20, so we can write:

0.32P = $147.20

To find P, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 0.32:

P = $147.20 / 0.32

P = $460.00
