Answer:

The price of the table yesterday is $925

Step-by-step explanation:

The sale price of the table today = $592

Let yesterday's sale price be x

Discount = 36%

The percentage sale price today = 100% - 36%

The percentage sale price today = 64%

Today's sale price = 64% of yesterday's sale price

592 = (64/100)x

592 = 0.64x

x = 592/0.64

x = $925

The price of the table yesterday is $925
