John and Jane went out for a dinner and they ordered the same dish. Both used a 10% discount coupon. John paid a 15% tip over the original price of the dish, while Jane paid the tip over the discounted price for the coupon. If John paid $1.26 more than Jane, what was the original price of the dish?
Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 24  B) 34.8  C) 37.8  D) 42  E) 84
The difference between the amounts John paid and Jane paid is the deference between 15% of p and 15% of 0.9p:   0.15p - 0.15*0.9p = 1.26 --&gt; 15p - 13.5p = 126 --&gt; p = 84.   Answer: 84.
