Ben had a coupon for an additional 15% off of the sale price of any intem in a store. He uses his coupon to buy a shirt whose sale price is already 20% off the original price. He pays $14.96, and there is no sales tax. What is the original price of the shirt?

    Take 15%+20%=35% then 100%-35%=65% so 14.96=65%; 14.96/65x100=23.015 so the original price is $23.02 (to check you can take 23.02/100x35=8.057 and then take 23.02-8.057 = 14.963 which is 14.96)
