Answer 2

The sale price is $27

Explanation:

We will be multiplying fractions so you will set it up as 30% over 100% times 90

30 90

---- x ------

100 1

You can simplify 30/100 to 3/10:

3 90

--- x ----

10 1

You then cross simplify 90 and 10 to get 9 and 1:

3 9

--- x ----

1 1

Once you multiply, you get 27/1 which is then 27.

The sale price is $27.

Hope this helps! :)
