Question

Rita wants to buy sweater that was originally priced at $25 today the sweater is on sale for 40% off the original price what is the sale price of the sweater

Answer 1

15$, I just multiplied 25 by .4 the product is 10 then just subtract that

Answer 2

40% is taken off from the original price.

Original price = $25

40% of 25 =  40% * 25

                   =  40 / 100   * 25    = 0.4 * 25 = 10

So 40% which is $10 would be taken off from the original price.

Sale Price = $25 - $10 = $15

Sale Price = $15

I hope this helped.
