Answer:
$60
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The regular price of the sneakers was 100%.
If the sales discount was 25%, the sale price of the sneakers was 75% of the regular price, as 100% - 25% = 75%.
Let x be the regular price of the sneakers.
Therefore, setting up the ratio of percentage to price:
[tex]\implies \sf 75\% : \$45 = 100\% : \$x[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf 0.75 : 45 = 1 : x[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{0.75}{45}=\dfrac{1}{x}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf 0.75x=45[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf x=\dfrac{45}{0.75}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf x=60[/tex]
Therefore, the regular price of the sneakers was $60.
