Answer: Regular price = $640

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

New price = $179.20

Rate of discount in price = 72%

Given expression

Original Price = New Price / (1 - Rate of discount)

Substitute values into the expression

Original Price = 179.20 / (1 - 72%)

Simplify values in parentheses

Original Price = 179.20 / 0.28

Original Price = $640

Hope this helps!! :)
