Answer:

  • $633.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial price be x.

We have:

  • Decrease rate = 28%,
  • Sale price = $455.76

The price has decreased from x by 28% and become $455.76.

Set equation and solve for x:

  • x - 28% of x = 455.76
  • x - 28x/100 = 455.76
  • x - 0.28x = 455.76
  • 0.72x = 455.76
  • x = 455.76/0.72
  • x = 633
