Emma wanted to buy a blazer. She saw a silver blazer on sale at 25% discount and a yellow blazer at 45% discount. Both blazers had the same original price before the discounts. To buy the silver blazer, Emma would need $4.60 more that what she had. So Emma bought the yellow blazer. After that, she had $1 left.

1. What was the original price of the silver blazer?
2. How much money did Emma have at first?

	Silver blazer	Yellow blazer
Before	100%	100%
Change	- 25%	- 45%
After	75%	55%

(a)
Difference in the discount between the silver blazer and the yellow blazer
= 45% - 25%
= 20%

Additional amount that Emma needed to pay if she would buy the silver blazer
= 4.60 + 1
= $5.60

20% →  5.60
100% → ^5.60₂₀ x 100 = 28

Original price of the silver blazer = $28

(b)
Price of the yellow blazer after discount in percentage
= 100% - 45%
= 55%

Price of the yellow blazer after discount
= ⁵⁵₁₀₀ x 28
= $15.40

Amount that Emma had at first
= 15.40 + 1
= $16.40

Answer(s): (a) $28; (b) $16.40
