well, the regular price is really "x", which oddly enough is 100%, but we also know that $358 is really the discounted price by 20%, namely 100% - 20% = 80%, so we know that 358 is really just 80% of "x", so

\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x & 100\\ 358& 80 \end{array} \implies \cfrac{x}{358}~~=~~\cfrac{100}{80} \\\\\\ \cfrac{x}{358}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies 4x=1790\implies x=\cfrac{1790}{4}\implies x\approx 448

20% equals 0.2
100% - 20% = 80% or 0.08

358 / 0.8 = $447.50

Check
447.50 * 0.8 = 358

Which is greater 4.32 or 4.5
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
4.5 is greater than 4.32 because, 4.5 is really (4.5 = 4.50) 4.50. 50 is greater than 32, so 4.5 is greater than 4.32. 

Hope I helped ya!! xD
