Question

A pair of shoes is on sale for 80 percent of the original price. The sale price is $60. What was the original price?

Answer 1

Answer:

$150

Step-by-step explanation:

let the original price be x

80% of the original price will be

80/100 × x=60

80/100= 2/5

2/5 × x= 60

2x/5 =60

cross multiply

2x = 300

divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 300/2

x= $150
