Question

A sweater is originally $25 and is on sale for $19. What is the percent off of the sweater?

Answer 1

Answer:

24% off

Step-by-step explanation:

I found 25% off the sweater by doing 25 x .25 which gave me 6.25

If we subtract that from the original price, you get 18.75

We need $19, so we know the percentage has to be smaller than 25, but just barely.

Next I tried 25 x .24 which gave me 6.

25 - 6 = 19, so we know the percentage is 24%
