Let x represent the regular price.
[tex]0.85 * x = 32.89[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{32.89}{0.85} = 38.69[/tex]
x = $38.69 so the original price is 38.69 dollars

Answer: $ 38.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the regular price of an electric drill.

Given : Pamela bought an electric drill at 85% of the regular price.

i.e. the paid price for electric drill = [tex]0.85x[/tex]

Also, she paid 32.89 for the drill.

Then , we have the following equation :-

[tex]0.85x=32.89[/tex]

Divide 0.85 on both the sides , we get

[tex]x=\dfrac{32.89}{0.85}\approx38.69[/tex]

Hence, the regular price of electric drill = $ 38.69
