Question

Aubrey wants to buy a new coat that has a regular price of $185. This weekend the coat is on sale at a 33% discount what is the sale price of the coat?

Answer 1

Find 33% of 185:

0.33 * 185 = 61.05

Subtract this from the regular price:

185 - 61.05 = 123.95

So the sale price is $123.95

Answer 2

Multiple .33 x 185. and solve for that answer = $61.05.  Subtract $61.05 from $185.00 and that is the cost of the coat with the sale price - $123.95.
