in a sale normal prices are reduced by 10 percent nathalie bought a pair of shoes for £63 what is the original price of the shoe



Answer :

Answer:

To find the original price of the shoes before the 10% reduction, we can set up the equation based on the information given:

Let \( x \) be the original price of the shoes.

According to the problem, after a 10% reduction, Nathalie bought the shoes for £63. This can be expressed as:

\[ 0.9x = 63 \]

To find \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 0.9:

\[ x = \frac{63}{0.9} \]

Now, perform the division:

\[ x = \frac{63 \times 10}{0.9 \times 10} = \frac{630}{9} = 70 \]

Therefore, the original price of the shoes was £70.
