100%-38%=62%
so we know that 589$ is = to 62% of the original price
62/100=589/x
62 out of 100 = 589 out of what number
cross multiply
58,900=62X
X=950
The regular price of the suit is 950$.
You can check this by figuring out what 38% of 950 is.
.38 x 950 = 361
then subtract that from 950
950-361=589
