Question

Tim bought a pair of Zeus running shoes on sale that were marked down 20% to $100 what was the original price of the shoes

Answer 1

Given:

Tim bought a pair of shoes for $100 on 20% down.

Let 'x' be the original price of the shoes.

Percentage of amount paid for the shoes is 80%

`100=x*(80)/(100)`
`100*(100)/(80)=x`
`x=(10000)/(80)`
`x=125`

Therefore, the original price of the shoes is $125
