Question

Charlie bought a pair of shorts at the store when they were having a 45% off sale if the regular price of pair of shorts was $24 how much did Charlie pay

Answer 1

Let's figure this out! Okay, so the original price is 24. 45% is taken off. Well, we just multiply 24 and 0.45! (45% = 45/100 = 0.45) When we do that, we get 10.8. Now, a common mistake is to just say 10.8 is the answer. Unfortunately for Charlie, that is only how much is being taken off. If 10.8 is being taken off 24, we subtract. 24 - 10.8 = 13.2. And there we have it! 

Charlie payed $13.2.

Hope this helps!
