Henry purchased shirts and used a 20% store coupon. In addition he received a Labor Day discount for 20% off the total. If his total bill came to $70.40 after 10% sales tax, then what was the original listed price for the shirts?

Seriously, HELP ME!!

70.40 x 100/110 = $64 <=== price before tax

64 x 100/80 = $80 <=== before labour day discount

80 x 100/80 = $100 <=== before store discount


$100 <=== original listed price
