Answer:
The sale is 5% off.
Step-by-step explanation:
- $25 regular price.
- $18.75 sale price.
You need to find the percentage that deducts $1.25 from the regular price. I start with 5% and work my way up from there until I find the answer.
So, <em>5</em><em>%</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>2</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>?</em>
5% * 25 = 1.25
You needed $1.25, 5% gives you that.
Therefore, the answer is 5%.
The first step we want to take here is to subtract 6 cups of sugar since we'll need it for something else, leaving us with 10 cups of sugar. It takes 2 cups of sugar for every batch of cookies, so you're going to divide 10 by 2. Luckily, 2 is a multiple of 10 so it's a whole number. By dividing, we get 5. So, we can make 5 batches of cookies while still saving 6 cups of sugar for something else.
