Let x = "the most that Misu can pay for a comforter", i.e. the value under the question.


From the condition, you have this equation


    x + 0.39x <= 100    dollars,   or

    x*(1 + 0.39) <= 100,

    1.39x        <= 100,

        x        <= {{{100/1.39}}} = 71.9424.


Therefore, making rounding, you get the
