Pablo is buying a pair of sneakers that are on sale for 25% off the original price, p. after he uses a $25 gift card, the total cost before taxes is $61.25. what was the original price of the sneakers?

$115.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Pablo is buying a pair of sneakers that are on sale for 25% off the original price, p. After he uses a $25 gift card, the total cost before taxes is $61.25.    

Let p be the original price of sneakers.

The amount after discount would be sum of amount of gift card and total cost before taxes.

We need to find p such that 75% of p equals to 86.25.        

Therefore, the original price of sneakers will be $115.

this linear equation would have just one solution.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason why this would have one solution is that it is an expression with just one variable. since that variable is not raised to a power, it will always have just one solution.
