Question

Sneakers normally cost $89.99, but on sale, they are marked down to $56.49. What percent off is the sale price?

Answer 1

$89.99 - $56.49 = $33.5
$33.5/$89.99 × 100 % = 37.22 % off

Answer 2

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation a=pw. A= Part   P= Percent. W= Whole

A= $56.49

P = x (unknown)

W= $ 89.99

Equation = 56.49=89.99x

You divide 89.99 on both sides to be equal and isolate the variable x. You would divide 56.49 by 89.99 and will get 0.627736415. You would round it to the nearest tenth , 0.6 so the percent is 60%
