Let x = the regular price of the shoes
\n" ); document.write( "Let .25x = the amount discounted from the regular price\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Set up the equation and solve:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+-.25x+=+68.14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".75x+=+68.14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+90.85\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"90.85+-+.25%2890.85%29+=+68.14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"90.85+-+22.71+=+68.14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"68.14+=+68.14\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is the correct answer.\r
