Answer:

$720

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up the expression.

  • [tex]\frac{612}{1-0.15}[/tex]

Step 2: Simplify.

  • [tex]\frac{612}{0.85}[/tex]

Step 3: Convert 0.85 into a fraction.

  • [tex]612/ \frac{85}{100}[/tex]
  • [tex]612/ \frac{17}{20}[/tex]

Step 4: Multiply 612 by reciprocal of 17/20.

  • [tex]612 * \frac{20}{17}[/tex]
  • [tex]36 * 20[/tex]
  • [tex]720[/tex]

Therefore, the regular price was $720.
