Answer: $200

=======================================================

Work Shown:

If you save 64%, then you still have to pay the remaining 100% - 64% = 36%

x = original price in dollars

sale price = 36% of x = 0.36*x = 72

0.36*x = 72

x = 72/0.36

x = 200

The original price is $200

discount = 64% of 200 = 0.64*200 = 128

You save $128

The amount you pay is 200-128 = 72 dollars, which matches with the given sale price.
