In the given problem, it is given that the table is sold at a discount of only one day and that is today. so the table would be have been sold at its original price yesterday. The discount given today is 34% and the sale price for today is $495.
Let us assume the price of the table yesterday = x
Then we can write the equation as
x = 295 * (100/34)
= 29500/34
= 867.64
So the selling price of the table yesterday was $867.64.
