Before the Wednesday discount, the cost of the jean is $14.50 + $10.00 = $<<14.5+10=24.50>>24.50.

Since the original price was reduced by 50%, the original cost for the jeans is $24.50 * 2 = $<<24.5*2=49.00>>49.00.

Before the sales tax applies, the cost of a pair of jeans is $14.50. How much was the original cost for the jeans before all the discounts?
