Let x be the regular price. 74% of the regular, i.e. the discounted price, is

[tex]d=\dfrac{74x}{100}=\dfrac{37x}{50}[/tex]

Since we know that d=703, we have

[tex]\dfrac{37x}{50}=703[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 50

[tex]37x=35150[/tex]

Divide both sides by 37:

[tex]x = \dfrac{35150}{37}=950[/tex]
