Amy paid $63.75 for a new pair of shoes during a 15%-off sale. What was the regular price?
--------------------------------------------------------------
1st.) We know the original price is considered 100%
So...Subtract the discount from the original percent.
100% (original percent)
15% (discount percent)
----
85%
-----------------------------
2nd.) Make equation. We need the percent to be in decimal form so move the decimal point to the left two places. (85% will now equal 0.85)
