Tiffany wanted to buy a jacket. She saw a gold jacket on sale at 25% discount and a blue jacket at 35% discount. Both jackets had the same original price before the discounts. To buy the gold jacket, Tiffany would need $4.40 more that what she had. So Tiffany bought the blue jacket. After that, she had $14 left.

1. What was the original price of the gold jacket?
2. How much money did Tiffany have at first?

	Gold jacket	Blue jacket
Before	100%	100%
Change	- 25%	- 35%
After	75%	65%

(a)
Difference in the discount between the gold jacket and the blue jacket
= 35% - 25%
= 10%

Additional amount that Tiffany needed to pay if she would buy the gold jacket
= 4.40 + 14
= $18.40

10% →  18.40
100% → ^18.40₁₀ x 100 = 184

Original price of the gold jacket = $184

(b)
Price of the blue jacket after discount in percentage
= 100% - 35%
= 65%

Price of the blue jacket after discount
= ⁶⁵₁₀₀ x 184
= $119.60

Amount that Tiffany had at first
= 119.60 + 14
= $133.60

Answer(s): (a) $184; (b) $133.60
