Answer: $372

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original retail price be 'x'

Therefore, using the give information, we can form the following equation:

50/100x = 186

Now, solve for x

50/100x = 186

1/2x = 186

x = 186 * 2

x = 372

The original retail price is $372.

Check:

50/100(372) = 186

1/2(372) = 186

186 = 186
