Question

A new sweater costs $15.99. If the sweater is on sale for 1/4 off

Answer 1

the sweater costs $15.99 regularly, however today is on sale, 1/4 off the regular price, how much is 1/4 of 15.99? well just their product, 15.99 * (1/4) = 3.9975.

that means that just for today, the sweater costs 15.99 - 3.9975.

so, today you're not really paying $15.99 for the sweater, you're paying 3.9975 less, so you're saving 3.9975.  That's $3.9975 that you won't be spending on it, thus saving it.

Answer 2

Answer:

4 dollars off

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the sweater is 15.99

You get 1/4 off

Multiply the cost by the discount

15.99 * 1/4

The questions asks about how much so you can round 15.99 to 16

16*1/4 = 4

You will get about 4 dollars off
