Answer: 
Answer:
without the sales, he would have spent $44.57
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount he would have spent without the sales be x. Now, if there is a 65% discount, what this means is that he is exactly paying for 100 - 65% = 35%
Now, it is this 35% of X that is equal to the amount he paid
Thus, mathematically, we have the following;
35/100 * x = 15.60
35x = 15.6 * 100
35x = 1560
x = 1560/35
x = $44.57
This means that without the sales discount, he would have paid $44.57
The real way is to subtract the term with the variable on the right first, but both Spencer and Jeremiah are correct. When you do them both, they arrive at the same answer, only that Spencer's would be 2/5, and Jeremiah's would be -2/-5, which is 2/5, because you divide negative by a negative. It doesn't matter which term with the variable you would cancel out first. Either way, you still arrive at the correct answer.
