Answer: 68

Step-by-step explanation: There are 2 ways to find the original price. But first, (as always) we should write a proportional relationship. This is to make the problem easier. So, it should be written like this:

- 51=
(75)/(100) x Y.

So now, we would multiply the 51 by the 100, then divide that by 75, to get 68. I hope this helped! If any questions, comment down below, please!

Answer:

$67.83.

Explanation:

If the sale price of the shoes is 75% of the original price, then the original price was 100/75 = <<100/75=1.33>>1.33 times the sale price.

If the sale price of the shoes is $51, then the original price was 1.33 * $51 = $<<1.33*51=67.83>>67.83.

Therefore, the original price of the shoes was $67.83.
