Question

A cake store is having a sale 25% off all cakes if the cake you want to purchase is originally 24.50 how much would you pay for the cake after the discount is applied

Answer 1

Write the percentage you want to find on the top of the fraction- (finding 100% is 100/100) so,

100%-25%= 75%.

75/100x 24.50 will give you 25% off 24.50.

The answer is $18.375, rounding would give $18.38. Hope this helps, if you need more feel free to ask
