Answer 1

$4

Explanation:

Trey sold his $80 hockey stick for 25% less. This means that he received 75% of the $80. Convert the percentage to a decimal, so it will be .75. Multiple .75 by $80 and you will get the final answer which is $60.

Brandon sold his $80 hockey stick for 30% less. This means that he received 70% of the $80. Convert the percentage to a decimal, so it will be .70. Multiple .70 by $80 and you will get the final answer which is $56.

Trey received $4 more for his hockey stick.
