Clara has a coupon for $10 off her favorite clothing store. The coupon is applied before any discounts are taken. The store is having a sale, and offering 15% off everything. If Clara has $50 to spend, how much can her purchases total before applying the discount and her coupon? Round to the nearest cent. I don't understand how to write the equations

    Let x be the total before applying the discount and her coupon

    (x-10) (1-15%) = 50

    x-10 = 50/0.85

    x=$68.82
