Amy paid $60.23 for a pair of running shoes during a 20%-off salr. whay was the regular price?

Cost of running shoes after 20% off = $60.23

let us find what was the original price of shoes.

Let us say original price was $x

Now according to question we have 20% off this original price x.

So 20% of x = 0.2x

price after discount = original price - discount = x-0.2x

Now we have 20% of x equal to $60 ( discounted price)

Forming an equation:

x-0.2x =60

0.8x =60

dividing both sides by x ,we have

x=$75

So original price was $75.
