Iola has $75. she buys a pair of shoes on sale for one-half off and a pair of socks for $6. she has $32 left. which equation can be used to find x, the regular price of the shoes?

The regular price of the shoes is $98.

Step-by-step explanation:

$75 - 0.50x + $6 = $32

Combining the $ terms on the left side, we get $75 + $6 - 0.50x = $32, or

$81 - $32 = 0.50x, or $49 = 0.50x.  Then x = $98.  The regular price of the shoes is $98.

75 -6 - x(50/100) =32

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

The amount Lola has (75) minus the price of the pair of socks (6) , and minus the product of the price of the shoes (x) and the percent discount in decimal form (50/100) is equal to the money she has left (32)

Mathematically speaking:

75 -6 - x(50/100) =32

Solving for x:

-0.5x = 32-75+6

--0.5x =-37

x =-37/-0.5

x =$74  ( regular price of the shoes)
