A runner saved $25 when he purchased a pair of tennis shoes on sale. If the sale price was 35% off the regular price, what was the regular price of the tennis shoes?

Given:

Amount saved in sale = $25

Sale price was 35% off the regular price.

To find:

The regular price of the tennis shoes.

Solution:

Let the regular price of the tennis shoes be x.

Sale price was 35% off the regular price.

Amount saved in sale = $25

Divide both sides by 0.35.

Therefore, the regular price of the tennis shoes is $71.43.

answer with step-by-step explanation:

a. ∠j is supplementary to ∠k - true:

(opposite angles of a trapezoid are supplementary which means that they add up to 180 degrees)

b. kl is parallel to jm - true:

(opposite sides are parallel to each other in a trapezoid)

c. jk is perpendicular to kl - false:

(clearly, jk does not make a right angle with kl)

d. jk is parallel to lm - false:

(jk and lm are two lines opposite in direction to each other so they cannot be parallel)

e. ∠j is congruent to ∠m - true:

(the angles on each side of the base are congruent)

f. ∠j is congruent to ∠k - false:

(the angles on the same side but opposite side of the base are not congruent)

answer: $34.31

step-by-step explanation:

$11.99 x 3 = $35.97

$35.97 - 10% = $32.37

$32.37 + 6% = $34.31
