Answer:

$820

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the 100% sales price yesterday,

If a discount of 68% was given, it means

The sales price of today (100% - 68%) 32% = $262.40

100% sales price of yesterday = x

32x = 262.40 × 100

32x = 26240 Divide both sides by 32

x = 26240 / 32

x = $820

Hence, the price yesterday is $820
