Given:

Coupon = 30%

Amount paid after using the coupon = $28

Let's find the regular price.

The coupon is a form of voucher that enables someone to get a discount off a product.

This means after a discount of 30%, the new price of the jeans is $28

Thus, to find the regular price, we have:


28=P(1-(30)/(100))

Where P represents the regular price.

From the equation above, let's solve for P.


28=P(1-0.3)


\begin{gathered} 28=P(0.7) \\ \\ 28=0.7P \\ \\ \text{Divide both sides by 0.7:} \\ (28)/(0.7)=(0.7P)/(0.7) \\ \\ 40=P \\ \\ P=40 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the regular price for the Jeans is $40

ANSWER:

$40
