\n" ); document.write( "A. After the discount the price of one pair of shoes is $15.40. What was the price of the shoes before the discount\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let the price of the shoes before the discount be \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%2830%2F100%29x+%2B15.40\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%280.30%29x+%2B15.40\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x-%280.30%29x+=15.40\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0.7x+=15.40\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=15.40%2F0.70\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=22\".....your answer: the price of the shoes before the discount\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the discount was \"%2830%2F100%29x+=%2830%2F100%2922+=+0.3%2A22=6.60\" dollars\r
