During a sale, the regular price of a pair of running shoes is reduced by 20 percent. $64.00, what is the regular price of the running shoes?
Answer Choices
- A: $48.00
- B: $51.20
- C: $76.80
- D: $80.00
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Sale price = Regular price minus 20% discount = 80% of Regular price. So 0.80 * Regular price = $64.00. Regular price = $64.00 / 0.80 = $80.00.
