Question

The original price of the shorts is $35. They are on sale for 25% off. What is the sale price?

Answer 1

Answer:

$26.25

Step-by-step explanation:

So what you do is divide 25 by 100 so its a decimal .25 then multiply that by 35 and you get 35/4 or 8.75 you take that number and subtract it from 35 and you get 26.25.

For future reference what ever percentage you have like if says it went up 80% you divide that by a hundred also and you get .80 you multiply that by 35 you get 28 you don't subtract it from the original price but you add it so you get 35+28=63 and that's your final answer.

Remember you divide the percentage for example 25 by 100 multiply by the price it gives for example 35 if the question says off you subtract what you got from the original price if it went up you add it to the original price and that's your final answer. Hope this help :)
