Question

A shirt is regularly priced at $42. It is on sale for 15% off of the regular price. What is the sale price of the shirt?

Answer 1

Answer:

$35.70

Step-by-step explanation:

15% of 42 = 6.3

42 - 6.3 = 35.7

Answer 2

Answer:

$35.7

Step-by-step explanation:

you can convert 15% to a decimal by dividing by 100.

15/100 = .15

if you multiply the decimal by the cost of the shirt you get how much the discount is.

0.15 * $42 = 6.30

so a 15% discount on a $42 shirt is $6.30 off. So you subtract the discount from the total cost.

$42 - $6.30 = $35.7 that is the sale price of the shirt.
