The price of a jacket is reduced by 15%. During a special sale the price of the jacket is reduced another 30%. By approximately what percent must the price of the jacket now be increased in order to restore it to its original amount?	Pick one:
A) 60
B) 65
C) 69
D) 68.25
E) 67.5

Rationale: 1 ) let the price of jacket initially be $ 100 . 2 ) then it is decreased by 15 % , therefore bringing down the price to $ 85 . 3 ) again it is further discounted by 30 % , therefore bringing down the price to $ 59.5 4 ) now 59.5 has to be added byx % in order to equal the original price . 59.5 + ( x % ) 59.5 = 100 . solving this eq for x , we get x = 68.25 ans is d
Answer: D
