100%-27%= 73%(percentage of sale price)
73%= $365
1%= 365/73
     = $5
Regular price is for 100%
Regular Price: 100 x 5
                     = $500

Sale price = $ 365

Discount percentage = 27 %

Let the regular price be $ x.

x - (27% of x) = 365

[tex]x - \frac{27}{100}x = 365 [/tex]

[tex] \frac{100x-27x}{100} = 365[/tex]

[tex] \frac{73}{100}x = 365 [/tex]

[tex]x = 365*\frac{100}{73} [/tex]

[tex]x = 5 * 100[/tex]

x = 500

Hence, the regular price was $ 500.
