A suit is on sale for $281.20 , which is 38% of the regular price.

What is the regular price?

Let's call the regular price "x". We know that $281.20 is 38% of x, which can be written as:

0.38x = $281.20

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides by 0.38:

x = $739.47

So the regular price of the suit is $739.47.
