You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = the regular price of the shoes
Let .25x = the amount discounted from the regular price
Set up the equation and solve:
x+-.25x+=+68.14
.75x+=+68.14
x+=+90.85
Check:
90.85+-+.25%2890.85%29+=+68.14
90.85+-+22.71+=+68.14
68.14+=+68.14
This is the correct answer.
