A clothing store originally bought 100 jackets at a total cost of j dollars. If each jacket was sold for 30 percent more than its original cost, what was the individual price, in terms of j, of each jacket sold?	Pick: A) j/77 B) 7j/500 C) 140j D) j/100+40 E) 140j/100
lets take j=1000, as decided by you..   now 30% increase makes it 1300..   this is the price for 100 jackets, so selling price for each jacket=1300/100=$13..   so ans is correct as j/77..
