Question

A sporting goods store is having a closeout on a certain style of running shoes. They are marked 55% off the regular price. The regular price is $79.95. Find the amount of the discount and the sales price.

Answer 1

55% of 79.95 is 43.972 so that is the discount amount. 79.95-43.972=35.978. 35.978 is the new price.
