Volume is length x width x height. Therefore in this case, we do 4x3x5 which turns out to be 60. Also don't forget to add yd after your answer because this is measured in yards.
We use percents in decimal form to multiply it with the price. We convert percents into decimals by dividing the percent number by 100. For example, 78% divided by 100 becomes 0.78.
There are two ways to look at it:
For finding the price we pay during a sale, we focus on the percent we pay. If 60% off is the sale, then we spend 40% or 100-60=40. 40% is 0.40. Multiply that by p an unknown price and we have 0.4p.
We can find the percent off by multiplying the price by the percent conversion. So 60% is 0.60. Then subtract it from the original price to find the leftover that we pay. This is p-0.6p.
