Question

Miss Owens has a coupon for 40% off a pair of shoes she pays $111.79 for a pair of shoes and a dress after using the coupon. The dress costs $64.99. Which equation can be solved for x, the retail price of the shoes?​

Answer 1

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Process of elimination... Its not C or D because the % distributes onto the dress cost and it only contributes to 111.79. Also, 40% of 1 is 0.6 so its not B, which leaves A...
