The price of a jacket is reduced by 25%. 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?
Choices:
A) 100  B) 125  C) 122.2  D) 105.5  E) 65
1) Let the price of jacket initially be $100.   2) Then it is decreased by 25% , therefore bringing down the price to $75.   3) Again it is further discounted by 30%, therefore bringing down the price to $45.   4) Now 67.5 has to be added byX %in order to equal the original price.   45 + ( X% ) 45 = 100.   Solving this eq for X, we get X = 122.2   Ans is 122.2.
