Answer:

(b)The original price of the shoes is $60.

Explanation:

Part A

In this situation:

• 15% is the PERCENT

,

• $9 is the PART

,

• The original price is the WHOLE.

Part B

If 15% is taken off, the customer will save $9.

This means that 15% of the original price = $9.

Let the original price=p

\begin{gathered} 15\%\text{ of p=9} \\ \frac{15}{100}p=9 \\ 15p=900 \\ p=\frac{900}{15} \\ p=60 \end{gathered}

The original price of the shoes is $60.
