    Answer: price of the watch before the discount is £23.5825

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the original price of the watch.

    Jason went shopping he bought a watch and a pair of trainers for a total price of £53.55. This price includes 15% loyalty discount. The value of the discount is

    15/100 * 53.55 = 8.0325

    This means that the original cost of both items is

    53.55 + 8.0325 = 61.5825

    Before the discounts, the trainers were priced at £38. Therefore,

    38 + x = 61.5825

    x = 61.5825 - 38

    x = 23.5825
