The mistaken assumption is that the customer thinks the shoes are back to their original price.

The assumption is wrong because the price of the shoe is now lower than $150.

The cost of the shoe now is $126.

In order to retain the price of $150, the percentage decrease should have been 28.6%.

<h3>What is the cost of the shoe now?</h3>

Price of the shoe after it was increased : 1.4 x 150 = 210

Price of the shoe after it was decreases: (1 - 0.4) x 210

0.6 x 210 = $126

The percentage the price should be decreased for the price to be back to $150 = (150 / 210) - 1 = 28.9%

   y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - (-1) = 4[x - (-3)]
