Answer:

it looks like the answer is $476.06.

Explanation:

i got this answer because we already know the sale price. We need to find the regular/ original price of the suit. So in order to do that all you have to do is:

278.40 * 71%= 197.664

now add both together because 197.664 is how much the discount was. So, now add both together. 278.40 + 197.664. Now this gives you, 476.064, round it and you should get $476.06 for the original/regular price.
