find the original price of a pair of shoes if he sale price is $48 after a 60% discount

-------------------------------------------------------

Let x = original price


(Original Price) - (60% of Original Price) = Sale Price

x - 0.60x = 48

0.40x = 48

x = 48/0.40

x = 120

The original price is $120
