$44 is equal to the original price [P] take away 20% or 0.20 of the original price

$44=P-0.20P$

44 = 0.80*P

In other words, 44 is 80percent of the original price P
P = 55

The answer is: $220
First you need to see if you're finding the part, whole, or percent. In this case your finding the whole.
You first set up a proportion: 20/100=44/x
Then you cross multiply: 20x (4400)
Then you divide: 4400÷20=220.
So x=220
So the original price of the shoes are $220.
Hope this helps! :D

we are given

BE=x

ED=x+10

AE=x+1

EC=x+3

we can see that two chords AC and BD are intersecting inside the circle

so, we can use property

$AE*EC=BE*ED$

now, we can plug values

$(x+1)*(x+3)=(x)*(x+10)$

now, we can multiply them

$x^2+4x+3=x^2+10x$

now, we can move all terms on left side

$x^2+4x+3-x^2-10x=0$

$3-6x=0$

$x=\frac{1}{2}$ ...............Answer
