Question

Karim wants to buy a shirt that normally sells for $46.50. It is on sale for One-third off. How much does Karim need to pay to buy the shirt on sale?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First I took the original price of the shirt (46.50) since it is going one third off I divided it by 3 (46.50/3=15.50)

I took away the one third I divided from it (46.50-15.50=31)

I got 31 dollars as my final answer.

Now Karim needs to buy the shirt for $31.

Answer 2

Answer:

$31

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of the shirt normally: $46.50

Deduction in the price when it's 1/3 off: 1/3 * $46.50 = $15.50

amount that Karim needs to pay to buy the shirt:

Price of the shirt normally - Deduction in price when it's 1/3 off =

$46.50 - $15.50 = $31.00
