    Answer:$320

    Step-by-step explanation:

    60 = (a-128) / a x 100

    60=100 (a-128) / a

    Cross multiplying we get

    60a=100 (a-128)

    60a=100a-12800

    Collect like terms

    12800=100a-60a

    12800=40a

    Divide both sides by 40

    12800/40=40a/40

    320=a

    a=320
