ANSWER IS NO SOLUTION OR NO REAL NUMBER
Answer:
The store paid 6.67 times the profit made on the jeans
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount the clothing store pay for Jean be X
Let the amount the clothing store sells Jean be Y = X ×1.15
The profit (P) made is the difference between amount the clothing store sells Jean and the amount paid for Jean = Y - X = 1.15X - X
Profit (P) = 0.15X
X = P/0.15 = 6.67P
Therefore, the store paid 6.67 times the profit made on the jeans
78 + 96 + 40 + 104 + 77
174 + 40 + 104 + 77
214 + 104 + 77
318 + 77
395
395/5 = 79
