Let the ticket price of the suit be s.
Find s:
With his 20% employee discount on the two items, the amount he paid was $75 less than the ticket price of the suit.
(0.8 × 150) + 0.8s = s - 75
195 = 0.2s (We can stop here and use this to calculate the answer.)
Answer the question asked:
How much did the suit cost him?
0.8s = 4 × 0.2s = 4 × 195 = 780
(A) $780
(B) $800
(C) $920
(D) $975
(E) $1,000
