the school paid $80 for the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount that the school paid for the book.

Her school charges a lost book fee equal to 75% of the cost of the book. It means that the amount that the school would charge on a book that cost $x is

75/100 × x = 0.75 × x = 0.75x

Sarah received a notice stating that she owed the school $60 for he lost book. It means that

0.75x = 60

x = 60/0.75

x = $80
