13. The suggested retail price of a football is $65.00. During a sale, the football was on sale at 15%

Answer 1

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{15\% of 65}}{\left( \cfrac{15}{100} \right)65}\implies 9.75~\hfill \begin{array}{llll} \textit{65 minus 15\% of it}\\\\ 65-9.75\implies 55.25 \end{array}$
