Question

A shirt regularly priced at 36.00$ was on sale for 25% off. What was the sale price?

Answer 1

Answer:$27

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price(cp)=$36

Percentage off=25

sale price=sp

Percentage off=(cp-sp)/cp x 100

25=(36-sp)/36 x 100

Cross multiplying we get

25x36=100(36-sp)

900=100(36-sp)

Divide both sides by 100 we get

900/100=100(36-sp)/100

9=36-sp

Collect like terms

sp=36-9

sp=27
