Veronica’s Dress Shop marked down a pair of shoes 15% if the customer purchased them with a dress or pantsuit. The shoes’ sale price was $59.00. How much would the shoes cost if purchased alone?
Multiply .15 by $59.00. That number is the discount off of the $59. This number comes out to be $8.85. Now subtract that from 59. This number comes out to $50.15. That would be the price of the shoes.
