Today only, a desk is being sold at a 35% discount. The sale price is $468.
What was the price yesterday?
--------------------------------------------------
you are given that 0.65x = 468.
Solve this equation for x, and you will know what was the price yesterday.
Notice that 0.65 = 1 - 0.35 = 65%.

If you got 35% off, you only paid 65% of the original price. Call that x. Then we write
x = $468 / .65 = $720 is the original price.
