at a sale a desk is being sold for 24% of the regular price. the sale price is $182.40 what is the regular price​

we have that

24% ------> represent $182.40

so

Applying proportion

Find out the 100%

Let

x ----> the regular price

182.40/24=x/100

solve for x

x=(182.40)*(100)/24

x=$760

therefore

The regular price is $760
