If Susan paid for the coat AFTER the discount was applied, then she saved:
\n" ); document.write( "(100-10)% X price =150
\n" ); document.write( ".9 price = 150
\n" ); document.write( "price = 150/.9 =$166.67
\n" ); document.write( "166.67-150=$16.67 savings.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the original price was $150, then she saved:
\n" ); document.write( "150 X 10%=$15.00 savings.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
