Nikhil gets paid a 5 percent commission on every pair of shoes that he sells. He earned $1.00 on the last pair of shoes that he sold. The expression that can be used to represent x, the price of the shoes, is 0.05x=1 What was the price of the shoes?

dude:

I'm assuming they gave you the equation 0.05x=1 You want to solve for x, so divide by 0.5 on both sides \(x=\large\frac{1}{0.05}\)

dude:

I am not allowed to give you a direct answer but I just showed you how to get to it. \(\bf \color{red}{x=\large\frac{1}{0.05}}\)
