Question

sweater originally priced at $65 is on sale for 15% off.You also have a coupon that takes another $10 off.What percent of the original price do you pay?

Answer 1

Ok, so first you have to count le 15% off. It means you pay 85% of the price

0,85•65= 55,25$

Second, you take the 10$ off

55,25-10=45,25$

Third, you have know what percentage of the original price you paid

45,25 divided by 65 =0,6962

So you actually paid 69,62% of the original price
