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

Hey! :)

Well, the ratio of yellow beads to blue beads is 4:5. The best way I think is to guess and check multiplying the ratio by integers. You need between 15 and 20.4 : 5 ( = 9 too little )8 : 10 ( = 18 just right)12 : 15 ( = 27 too much)So per necklace, 8 yellow beads and 10 blue beads would be needed.

Hope this helps! :)
