They are asking how much is the regular price and how much is the discount if the discounted price is $35.80 and and the discount rate is 40%.
After 40% discount, the price is $35.80
Original price = ($35.80/60)*100 = $59.67
Discount = ($59.67)*.4 = $23.87

What amt, when discounted by 40% equals 35.80?
x - .40x = 35.80
.60x = 35.80
x = 59.67
59.67 - 23.87 = 35.80
reg price 59.67 minus
amt of disc 23.87 =
sale price of 35.80

Set up your equation like this:
35.80 = 0.4 x (x represents the original price of the item)
35.80 / 0.4 = 89.50
Original price = $89.50

p - 0.4p = $35.80
p(1 - 0.4) = $35.80
p(0.6) = $35.80
p = $35.80/(0.6)
p = $59.67
d = 0.4*$59.67
d = $23.87
check:
$59.67
-23.87
--------
$35.80
