Given,

The rate of discount is 24%.

The sale price is $665.

The formula of marked price is,

Marked price (regular price)= sale price+discount

Consider,

The regular price is x.

Substituting the values then,


\begin{gathered} x=665+24\text{ percent of x} \\ x=665+(24)/(100)x \\ x-0.24x=665 \\ 0.76x=665 \\ x=875 \end{gathered}

Hence, the regular price of the suit is $875.
