Jay is selling his shoes and making a 15% gain from it. His friend wants to buy them so he offers him a 5% discount. At what price did Jay originally buy his shoes, if he sold it to his friend for $218.50?
","rationale_html":"If the shoes were sold at $218.50 after a 5% discount, they were originally 218.50/0.95 = 230
If at that price, Jay was making 15% gains, the original price of the shoes was 230/1.15 = 200
