Question

Find the final sales price of a $75 hoodie after a 45% discount. Enter your answer as numbers with a decimal only.

Answer 1

Answer: $33.75

Step-by-step explanation:

        First, we will turn 45% into a decimal with division.

45% / 100 = 0.45

       Next, we will multiply to find the sales price after the discount.

$75 * 0.45 = $33.75

       Lastly, we can check our answer. 45% is close to 50%, and 75 / 2 = 37.5. This answer does make sense.
