The price of a jacket is reduced by 10%. During a special sale the price of the jacket is reduced another 30%. By approximately what percent must the price of the jacket now be increased in order to restore it to its original amount?  Choose one:
A) 32.5 B) 58.7 C) 48 D) 65 E) 67.5
1) Let the price of jacket initially be $100.   2) Then it is decreased by 10% , therefore bringing down the price to $90.   3) Again it is further discounted by 30%, therefore bringing down the price to $63.   4) Now 67.5 has to be added byX %in order to equal the original price.   63 + ( X% ) 63 = 100.   Solving this eq for X, we get X = 58.7   Ans is 58.7
