The given information is:

- Milan bought a suit for $522.

- This price was 28% less than the original price.

As $522 is 28% less than the original, it means it represents the 72%:

[tex]100\%-28\%=72\%[/tex]

Let's set x=original price, then:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x*\frac{72\%}{100\%}=522 \\ x*0.72=522 \\ x=\frac{522}{0.72} \\ x=725 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The original price was $725
