Answer:

Jersey cost (without discount)= $65

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to determine how much he spent on the jersey:

Jersey cost (with discount)= 83.39 - 37.89

Jersey cost (with discount)= $45.5

Now, the original cost of the jersey:

Jersey cost (without discount)= discount cost / (1 - discount)

Jersey cost (without discount)= 45.5 / 0.7

Jersey cost (without discount)= $65
