Question

Cassie bought a new sweater at the mall. Its original price was $60, but there was a 10 percent discount. How much did Cassie pay for the sweater?

Answer 1

$50 she pays 50 dollars cause if is 10 precent off it means 60 minus  10 which equals 50 dollars

Answer 2

She paid $54.00

You have to multiply 60 by 0.10 (10%). 10% of 60 is 6. You subtract 6 from 60 (Take 10% off). You end up with 54.
