    Th owner must buy 7 Jackets

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a. Purchase price=$55, Sell Price = $77

    Sell Price = $55+$22

    = Purchase price + 40*55/100

    =Purchase price + 40% of Purchase price

    =140% of purchase price

    b. Purchase Price=$35

    Sell price=140%of $35

    =140*$35/100

    =$49

    Number of Jackets required for the total sale to be $340 = $340/$49

    =6.94

    So We get the result by rounding off because Jackets cannot be in fraction, which is 7
