Answer:

$425.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between regular price and sale price is ...

sale price = regular price - 0.40 · regular pric

= regular price · (1 - 0.40) = 0.60 · regular price

Dividing by 0.60, we find ...

sale price / 0.60 = regular price

$255.30/0.60 = regular price = $425.50
