Answer 12

So for this problem we will work backwards!

We will start with $19 because that is what she paid.

Now lets break the problem down.
-She also used a store coupon for $5

So in this case we will add $5 to the 19.

so 19+5=24

Now that we have the discounted price..we will take 1/4 of that to find out how much money was discounted.

So...
24/4=6

Now we will add 6 to 24 for the original price.

24+6=30.

Therefore, the original price of the Sweater is $30.
