The price of a pair of shoes is $52. this price is 15% lower than last week. what was the price of the shoes last week? round your answer to the nearest cent

$61.18

Step-by-step explanation:

The price last week was an unknown. We will call it x. x is an entire amount, so it is 100% of x.

This week, the price is 15% lower. Since 100% - 15% = 85%, the price this week is 85% of what it was last week. Last week it was x, so this week, the price is 85% of x.

85% of x = $52

0.85x = $52

Divide both sides by 0.85:

0.85x/0.85 = $52/0.85

x = $61.1764...

$61.18

b. x + 1
