Abi wanted to buy a jacket. She saw a black jacket on sale at 25% discount and a pink jacket at 35% discount. Both jackets had the same original price before the discounts. To buy the black jacket, Abi would need $5.40 more that what she had. So Abi bought the pink jacket. After that, she had $14 left.

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

	Black jacket	Pink jacket
Before	100%	100%
Change	- 25%	- 35%
After	75%	65%

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

Additional amount that Abi needed to pay if she would buy the black jacket
= 5.40 + 14
= $19.40

10% →  19.40
100% → ^19.40₁₀ x 100 = 194

Original price of the black jacket = $194

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

Price of the pink jacket after discount
= ⁶⁵₁₀₀ x 194
= $126.10

Amount that Abi had at first
= 126.10 + 14
= $140.10

Answer(s): (a) $194; (b) $140.10
