Answer: $51
Explanation: After the discount, the price of the shoes would be 100-15=85%. So, 85/100=x/60.(x is the cost of the shoes after the discount.) x equals 85*60/100, which is 51.
I hope this helped! :)

The answer is $51. If you take the original amount and subtract 15% from it you get $51.
