Question

A sweater originally priced at $80 was marked down by 25%. What was the sale price of the sweater?

Answer 1

The original price of the sweater is $80 which is 100% of the price.
If the price is reduced by 25%, then the new price is 75% of the original price since 100% - 25% = 75%.
Now we need to find 75% of $80.

To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.
To convert a percent into a decimal, divide the percent by 100 which is the same as moving the decimal point two places to the left.

Here's how to change 75% into a decimal.
75% = 75/100 = 0.75

Here's how you calculate 75% of $80.
75% of $80 =

= 75% * 80

= 0.75 * $80

= $60

Answer: The sale price is $60.
