Jason went shopping.

He bought a watch and a pair of trainers for a total price of £53.55
This price includes a 15% loyalty discount.
Before the discount, the trainers were priced at £38.
Work out the price of the watch before the discount.

53.55 / 85 = 0.63

0.63 * 100 = 63

63 - 38 = 25

watch was 25 before discount
