Question

A blouse that regularly sells for $28.50 is on sale for one-third off. what is the sale price of the dress?

Answer 1

You have to multiply the original price by 1/3 and then multiplying it by 2:
y=1/3x(2)
y=1/3(28.5)(2)
y=9.50(2)
y=19
$19.5
This is 2/3 of the original price (1/3 off).
Hope I helped...
