Answer: $56

Explanation:

Let the original price of the jacket be x.

Since Kevin went to a store that offers a 20% discount and bought a jacket and saved $11.20 after using the coupon.

The original price of the jacket goes thus:

20% × x = $11.20

0.2 × x = 11.20

0.2x = 11.20

x = 11.20 / 0.2

x = 56

The original price of the jacket will then be $56
