Question

Tyrone went to a basketball game and brought a jersey that was on sale at a 30% discount. He also bought a hat that cost $37.89. Tyrone spent a total of $83.39.

Answer 1

Guessing we need to find the original cost of the jersey?

83.39 - 37.89 = 45.50 is the sale price of the jersey

x - 0.3x = 45.50 (full price minus 30% of the full price)
0.7x = 45.50, divide by 0.7
x = $65
