Roshel wanted to buy a jumpsuit. She saw a green jumpsuit on sale at 15% discount and a brown jumpsuit at 35% discount. Both jumpsuits had the same original price before the discounts. To buy the green jumpsuit, Roshel would need $6.20 more that what she had. So Roshel bought the brown jumpsuit. After that, she had $17 left.

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

	Green jumpsuit	Brown jumpsuit
Before	100%	100%
Change	- 15%	- 35%
After	85%	65%

(a)
Difference in the discount between the green jumpsuit and the brown jumpsuit
= 35% - 15%
= 20%

Additional amount that Roshel needed to pay if she would buy the green jumpsuit
= 6.20 + 17
= $23.20

20% →  23.20
100% → ^23.20₂₀ x 100 = 116

Original price of the green jumpsuit = $116

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

Price of the brown jumpsuit after discount
= ⁶⁵₁₀₀ x 116
= $75.40

Amount that Roshel had at first
= 75.40 + 17
= $92.40

Answer(s): (a) $116; (b) $92.40
