We can use porpotion to get the answer
72 is 100%-64%=36%
36% --------------- 72
100%--------------- x
crossmultiply
36x=100*72
36x=7200           /:36
x=7200:36
x=200 - its the answer

ok
1) 72*0.64=46.08
2) they said discount like (-)
so you need to do that 46.08-72=25.92
the original price is 25.92
                hope it's the best answer
