Answer 1

Answer:

367.25 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate 35 percent of 565 you would first

• Find 30 percent to do this find 10% (÷10) and then times your answer by 3. (565÷10=56.5 times by 3 is 169.5)
• Then you would have to find 5 percent do this by halfing 10% of the number. (We know 10% equals to 56.5 half off that is 28.25)
• Add the numbers together (5% + 30%)
• (169.5 + 28.25 =197.75)

35% is 197.75 the question says 35% off so you would have to take the 35% off the 565

(565-197.75 = 367.25)
