Question

A fleece top costs $34.00. It is on sale for 1/4 off. What is the sale price?

Answer 1

It would be on sale for 25.50

Answer 2

So first, let's set up the problem. " A fleece top costs $34.00" Okay, original price = $34.00. "It is on sale for 1/4 off." That means a 25% discount. "what is the sale price?" Now we know what we're looking for.

So first you must find 25% of $34.00.

$34.00 * 25%

Now turn the percent into a decimal:

$34.00 * 0.25

Now multiply:

$8.50

So the discount is $8.50 off.

Now just subtract the discount from the original price

$34.00 - $8.50 = $25.50

The new sale price is $25.50!

Hope that helps!
