I assume the cost of the suit is $536, not 536%.
So the % of the part times $536 = original price.
Remember, $536 is 77% of the original price.
536x0.77=$696.10

Since the suit was 33% off, and since the sale price of the suit was $536
Then the suit was sold for 67% of its original price
Therefore, 67% of its original price (p) equals $536, or
.67(p) = 536
.67p = 536
p = 536 ÷ .67 = $800
Original price of suit was $800
