We have an equation: 42/? = 75/100

Cross multiply:
75*? = 42*100
⇒ ? = 42*100/75= 56

The original price of the sweater was $56.

Hope this helps~

Schach [20]
He could only make one team, considering that if you do 12-9, you are left with 3, and Jason wants to have his team consisted of 9 players. However, if you make 3 teams with 4 players on each team, or 4 teams with 3 players on each team, you could do that as well.
