Question

Henry bought a pair of shoes that were on sale for 25% off. The sale price of the shoes was $42. What was the original price?

Answer 1

$56

Explanation:

Find out the percentage of the pair of shoes after the sale discount.

100 - 25 = 75%

75% = 42

1% = 42 ÷ 75 = 0.56

100% is the percentage of the original price.

100% = 0.56 x 100 = 56
