A pair of shoes costs $48.93 marked down 30% from its original price.What was the original price for the shoes

Question

Is it 69.90, 69%, $68.94, $67.34, 70%

and what % of the original price did the shoes sell for?

Answer 1

the answer is $69.90.
48.93 is 70% of the original price.

Easy.

Answer 2

X represents the sale price of the shoe
Y represents the original price of the shoe

(3/10) x Y = X
10 X / 3 = Y
(10 x 48.93) / 3 = Y

your answer would be X / Y
plug in the answers as X is 48.93 and Y is calculated up there
you can do the math from there... hehe just use a calculator if not.

Answer 3

If something is sold at a 30% discount that is the same as saying it is being sold at 70% of the original price. (The discount percentage and the percentage of the original price should always add up to 100%)

If we call the original price P then

P * 70% = $48.93

P * 0.70 = $48.93

P = $48.93 / (0.70)

P = $69.90

Answer 4

There are 2 ways to solve this problem

1) By deviding the percentage it is: 48.93/0.70

2) By multiplying each answer choice times 0.70 until the answer becomes 48.93.

I would definitely use the first one.

Answer 5

If their the comparable cost it does no longer count number yet while one is greater high priced then the different then you certainly pay finished cost for the dearer one and a million/2 cost for the greater fee-effective pair.

Answer 6

69.90....first person got it. What store prices shoes at 69.90? Isn't it usually 69.99?

Answer 7

69.90. Here is how you do it:
X= original cost
X-{X times 30%}=48.93
X-.3X=48.93
.7X=48.93
X=48.93divided by .7
X=69.90
