Answer:

The original regular price for the coat is $90

Explanation:

The given information in the question are;

The percentage that was off (removed) from the sale price = 30%

The sale price at which Jerry bought the coat = $63

Whereby the regular price = P, we have;

P - 30% of P = $63

P - 0.3×P = $63

P×(1 - 0.3) = $63

0.7·P = $63

P = $63/0.7 = $90

Therefore, the regular (original) price for the coat = $90

The coat regular price at which the coat is displayed is at $90.
