Answer:
$43.50
Step-by-step explanation:
We can create a proportion to find the sale on the original price. A proportion is an equation where two ratios are set equal to each other. We create two fractions using the prices and percents. It is marked down by 25% so we pay 75% of the original $58.
[tex]\frac{75}{100} =\frac{x}{58}[/tex]
We begin solving by cross multiplying numerator to denominator of each fraction.
[tex]75(58)=100(x)\\4350=100x\\\frac{4350}{100}=\frac{100x}{100} \\43.50=x[/tex]
