Answer:

Original price: $120

Price gained: $60

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add up the costs

[tex]164+16=180[/tex]

Then, divide $180 by 150% (1.5)

[tex]180[/tex] ÷ [tex]1.5 = 120[/tex]

The cost Stefan payed for is $120 so to find the price he gains, subtract the amount Jin pays Stefan ($180) by the price Stefan paid for the gear originally ($120)

[tex]180-120=60[/tex]

Stefan makes $60 off the sale.

First you would want to add 164+16=180 then divide 180 divided by 150% and the answer would be 120
