Question

The price of apair of shoes is $52. This price is 15% lower than last week. What is the price of the shoes last week?

Answer 1

Explanation:

we need to first find what 15% of 52 is. We can find it by multiplying 52 x 0.15

that would give us 7.8

since we need to know the price last week we need to add 7.8 to 52

7.8 + 52 = 59.8
