Answer

The sale price is there (100-34=) 66% of the regular price, call it R, so

R x (66/100) = 561.00

divide both sides by 66/100 (which is 0.66)

R = 561.00 / 0.66

= 850

Note you'll probably need to put in the currency sign for a complete answer.

I hope that helps. Any questions about this answer then please ask. All the best,

Ben
