Answer:
$300 was the regular price of the sofa.
Step-by-step explanation:
If $219 is 27% less than the regular price, then it represents 73% of the regular price.
Regular price = r.
r/1 x 73/100 = $219. Reverse this to find that $219/1 divided by 73/100 = r.
To divide fractions, reverse the second fraction and MULTIPLY:
$219/1 x 100/73 = 21900/73 = 300.
