partb. if shoes were origanlly 135 how much did he pay.

Answer 1

Therefore Dakotah paid $114.75.

Explanation:

i) Let the original price of the shoes be p

ii) the original price is marked down by 15%

iii) let the sale price be s

iv) therefore s =
`(100 - 15)/(100)`p = 0.85p

v) if the shoes were originally $135, that is p = $135

then the sale price, s = 0.85
`*` $135 = $114.75

Therefore Dakotah paid $114.75.
