Given:
Amount saved in sale = $25
Sale price was 35% off the regular price.
To find:
The regular price of the tennis shoes.
Solution:
Let the regular price of the tennis shoes be x.
Sale price was 35% off the regular price.
[tex]Discount=\dfrac{35}{100}x[/tex]
Amount saved in sale = $25
[tex]0.35x=25[/tex]
Divide both sides by 0.35.
[tex]x=\dfrac{25}{0.35}[/tex]
[tex]x=71.42857[/tex]
[tex]x\approx 71.43[/tex]
Therefore, the regular price of the tennis shoes is $71.43.
