Question

In a sale, normal prices of shoes Are reduced by 10%,natialy bought a pair of shoes in the sale they were 54 pounds what was the normal price

Answer 1

60 pounds

Explanation:

Let n be the normal price.

Then (1.00-0.10)(n) = 54 pounds, or 0.90(54)n = 54 pounds.

Dividing both sides of this equation by 0.90(54)n yields:

54 pounds

n = -------------------- = 60 pounds

0.90(54)

The shoes were formerly priced at 60 pounds.

10% off of that would come to 6 pounds, so the sale price would be

(60 - 6) pounds, or 54 pounds. This checks.
