Question

Walmart was having a sale on stereo systems. Danny wants the stereo that is originally $140
but it is on sale for 25% off. How much will Danny have to spend?

Answer 1

Answer:

$105

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn 25% to decimal

25% = 0.25

Now multiply it to 140

140 x .25

= $35

The discount price is 35$

Now subtract it to 140

140 - 35

= $105

Answer 2

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I hope you are having a nice day!

We can solve this problem in two steps; Comprehending and Solving.

I'll start off with Comprehending.

Comprehending

We can start solving the problem by setting up an equation to help us solve the problem.

We know the original price is $140 and we get a 25% off.

We also know that 25% is equal to $\frac{1}{4}$.

Hence we can solve for this by multiplying $140*\frac{1}{4}$.

Solving

We can solve the problem by using the equation that we found out above.

We can use algebra to find out and simplify it!

$140*\frac{1}{4}= x\\70*\frac{1}{2}=x\\x= 35$

But wait! We have only found out what 25% of $140 is, we still need to subtract it from the original equation.

$140-$35=$105

We've gotten our answer of $105.

Cheers!!
