Answer:
1) 25%
2) $17.54
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The boots were reduced from $80 to $60, therefore the total amount they were reduced by in terms of money is $20. To find out what percentage $20 is of $80, you divide.
20/80 = 0.25
0.25 = 25 % (to change a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100)
2) 20% = 0.20 (to change a percentage to a decimal, you divide by 100)
To find 20% of $87.70, multiply 0.20 by 87.70.
87.70 x 0.20 = 17.54
