Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore Dakotah paid $114.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Let the original price of the shoes be p

ii) the original price is marked down by 15%

iii) let the sale price be s

iv) therefore s  = $\frac{100 - 15}{100}$p = 0.85p

v) if the shoes were originally $135, that is p = $135

   then the sale price, s  = 0.85 $\times$ $135  =  $114.75

Therefore Dakotah paid $114.75.
