Answer: $380

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the regular price ( in dollars).

As per given , we have

Discount percent = 35%

Sale price = $247.

Using formula : Sales price = Regular price - Discount percent x (Regular price)

Substitute the corresponding values , we get

[tex]247 = x- 0.35x=(1-0.35)x[/tex]   [we convert percent into decimal by dividing it by 100]

[tex]247=0.65x[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{247}{0.65}=\dfrac{24700}{65}\\\\ x=380[/tex]

Hence, the  regular price yesterday is $380 .
