Answer :

First, express the problem algebraically. Notice that the problem is about the difference because it says "75% less", and that difference is equal to 86.40.

[tex]1x-0.75x=86.40[/tex]

Where x is the regular price. Also, we expressed the percentages as decimals. Solve the difference.

[tex]0.25x=86.40[/tex]

Then, divide both sides by 0.25.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{0.25x}{0.25}=\frac{86.40}{0.25} \\ x=345.60 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the regular price is $345.60.
