Anna wanted to buy a jacket. She saw a green jacket on sale at 20% discount and a purple jacket at 40% discount. Both jackets had the same original price before the discounts. To buy the green jacket, Anna would need $7.60 more that what she had. So Anna bought the purple jacket. After that, she had $2 left.

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

	Green jacket	Purple jacket
Before	100%	100%
Change	- 20%	- 40%
After	80%	60%

(a)
Difference in the discount between the green jacket and the purple jacket
= 40% - 20%
= 20%

Additional amount that Anna needed to pay if she would buy the green jacket
= 7.60 + 2
= $9.60

20% →  9.60
100% → ^9.60₂₀ x 100 = 48

Original price of the green jacket = $48

(b)
Price of the purple jacket after discount in percentage
= 100% - 40%
= 60%

Price of the purple jacket after discount
= ⁶⁰₁₀₀ x 48
= $28.80

Amount that Anna had at first
= 28.80 + 2
= $30.80

Answer(s): (a) $48; (b) $30.80
