Answer:

$148.50

Step-by-step explanation

I solved this by using fractions.

x/450=33/100 is how I set up the problem. 33/100 represents 33%, while x/450 represents how much the jacket costs now.

I then went across and multiplied x by 100, and 450 by 33, which gave me 100x=14850. After this I divided each side by 100 to get 148.5, being the cost of the jacket.
