    Step-by-step explanation:

    so jin paid a total of (140 + 16) = 156

    this is 130% of what stefan spent

    so 130% of what stefan paid equals 156

    let x represent what stefan paid

    turn ur percent to a decimal

    1.3x = 156

    x = 156/1.3

    x = 120 <= = what stefan originally spent

    and stefan made : (156 - 120) = $ 36 <==
