I can! It's very simple, and you should use this for any other problem with this sort of calculation. Here's how to figure it out, and here's the answer:

Since 5% of 100% is 20% (20 x 5 =100) you must divide the total price by 20, or divide it by 5% (but dividing by 20 is easier) Your answer would be 0.6875.
