Question

A department store is having a clothing sale. If a $35.00 pair of pants has a discount tag of 20% off, what is the sale price?

Answer 1

$28.00

Explanation:

You start with 35.00.

Now 10% of this is 3.5.

Multiply by 2 because it's 20%.

You get 7, so 7 is 20% of 35.00.

35.00 minus 7 is 28.00.

The pair of pants will be 28.00 dollars!
