  $100 = 0.80p

  p = $100/0.80 = $125

The maximum price of the shoes you can buy is $125.

Answer:

$125

Step-by-step explanation:

let the maximum price be 'x'

[tex]x -( \frac{20}{100} \times x) = 100[/tex]

[tex]x - ( \frac{x}{5} ) = 100[/tex]

[tex] \frac{4x}{5} = 100[/tex]

[tex]4x = 500[/tex]

[tex]x = 125[/tex]

BRAINLIEST PLEASE! :-)
