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