The original price was 725.

Explanation:

"36% less than" means taking 36% away from 100%. 100-36 is 64, so 64% remains when 36% is taken away. So, 64% of the original table's price is 464.

So, if the original price was x, 464=0.64x

Solve this by dividing both sides by 0,64:

725=x

So, the original price was 725.
