Question

If a pair of tennis shoes sells for $48 after a 25% markdown, what was the original price of the shoes?
The answer is $64.

Answer 1

i simply just multiplied
$48*.25=12,
then $48+$12=$60, which was apparently wrong...

Answer 2

well, after a 25% markdown, that means that $48 is 75% of the original price, which is 3/4 of $64

Answer 3

oh ok.... i see. thank you
