    The first thing you should do to solve this problem is to know how much was the discount of the sunglasses.

    We have then:

    44.95 $ - - - > 100%

    26.97 $ - - - > x

    Clearing x:

    x = (26.97 / 44.95) * 100 = 60%

    therefore, the discount is

    100-60 = 40%.

    Then, the original price of the swimsuit will be

    (28.95 $) * (1 + 0.40) = 40.53 $

    answer:

    the original price of a bathing suit that has a sale price of $ 28.95 is $ 40.53
