So you can figure this out by letting the original price = [tex]x[/tex], then subsitute this into an equation given the things we have here: [tex]x*0.75=51[/tex], 0.75 because that represents the sale. Rearrange this equation to find [tex]x= \frac{51}{0.75} [/tex] or [tex]$68[/tex]. 
The original price of the sneakers was $68.
