    40

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have an original price p

    We mark them up by 50%

    p + p*50%

    Changing to decimal form

    p+.50p = 1.5p

    The new price is 60 dollars

    1.5p = 60

    Divide each side by 1.5

    1.5p/1.5 = 60/1.5

    p = 40

    The original price is 40
