Answer 1

the second sentence in your paragraph gives you the equation you need to solve this problem. THIS (referring to 105.30) is a discount of 10% off of the retail price. If you discount something by 10% (100%price - 10%price = 90%price), then you are selling it for 90% of the original price, so
105.30 is (which means =) 90% of the retail price, or

105.30 = 90% of R
105.30 = 0.90 x R
105.30/0.9 = R
