Okay... so far you've asked at least 5 math questions in the last couple minutes.
Instead of typing all your math review question on here for people to answer, I suggest turning off the computer and sitting down with pencil and paper and working these out yourself. How else do you expect to excel in school and life if you always have people doing your work for you instead of using your own brain???

Let the regular price be 'x'
therefore,
20/100 * x = $28
=>x/5 = $28
=>x= 28 X 5 = $140
Ans: The Regular price is $140

If $28 is 80% of the original price, then the formula is 28/x = 80/100, or (28 x 100)/80 = x.
28/x = 80/100
(28 x 100)/80 = x
Take it from there. Good luck!

regular price = x
then,
28 = 0.80x
--> x = 28/.8 = 35
regular price = $35

the answer is 35
take 80/28 and multiply it by 100/x just cross muptiply and you will get 2800/80 which equals 35
if you want to check the answer again, multiply 35 times .8 and you get 28
