Answer:
$24.375
Step-by-step explanation:
Regular price of sandals = $32.50
Store sells sandals for 25% of the regular price.
Hence selling price =(100-25)% of the regular price.
In other words, selling price = 75% of regular price
= 75% of $32.50
= ![\[\frac{75}{100}*32.50\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%5Cfrac%7B75%7D%7B100%7D%2A32.50%5C%5D)
= ![\[24.375\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B24.375%5C%5D)
Hence the sale price of the sandals is $24.375
This is $8.125 less than the regular price of the sandal.
Step-by-step answer:
1/8" long piece is not very much. However, mathematically,
we divide the total length by the length of each piece to get the number of pieces. So
4 2/5 / (1/8)
= (5*4+2)/5 * (8/1) [convert to fraction, and division to multiplication
= (22/5) * (8/1)
= 176/5
= 35 pieces with 1/5" left over.
