Question

kelly just brought a new pair of shoes! she received a 30% discount, which saved $15 off of the original price. what was the original price of the pair of shoes

Answer 1

Set up an equation:

x * .30 = 15

Divide both sides by .30 in order to determine the value of x

x = 15/.30

x = 115.38

So, the original price of the pair of shoes is $115.38
