Answer:
The original price of the pairs of shoes which Kim bought is $ 90
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
The selling price of a pair of shoes = s.p = $ 40.50
The selling price = 45 % of the original price of shoes
Let The original price of the shoes = x
Now, According to question
∵ The selling price = 45 % of the original price of shoes
∴ s.p = 45 % × x
or, $ 40.50 = 45 % × x
or, $ 40.50 = [tex]\frac{45}{100}[/tex] × x
or, 45 × x = 40.50 × 100
Or, 45 × x = [tex]\frac{4050}{100}[/tex] × 100
or, 45 × x = 4050
∴ x = [tex]\frac{4050}{45}[/tex]
I.e x = $ 90
So, original price of shoes = x = $ 90
Hence The original price of the pairs of shoes which Kim bought is $ 90 Answer
