Answer:

Option F: $71.43 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the question we can observe that 35% of regular price is $25 so this information will be used to calculate the original price of the shoes.

Let

P be the price of shoes

and d be the discount

So

[tex]d = \$25\\P=?[/tex]

The discount is 35% of P so

[tex]d = 35\%\ of\ P\\25 = 0.35 * P\\P = \frac{25}{0.35}\\P = 71.42857...[/tex]

Rounding off to the nearest hundredth

The regular price is: $17.43

Hence, option F: $71.43 is the correct answer.
