A clothing store originally bought 100 jackets at a total cost of j dollars. If each jacket was sold for 50 percent more than its original cost, what was the individual price, in terms of j, of each jacket sold?
Options.
A) j/67  B) 7j/500  C) 140j  D) j/100+40  E) 140j/100
lets take j=1000, as decided by you..   now 50% increase makes it 1500..   this is the price for 100 jackets, so selling price for each jacket=1500/100=$15..   =j/67   so ans is correct as j/67..
