Question

Movies are on sale for 3/

4 the original price. If the original price is $10, what is the sale price?

Answer 1

The sale price is $2.5.

Explanation:

3/4=75%=0.75

0.75*10=7.5

10-7.5=2.5

Answer 2

$7.50

Explanation:

3/4 of the original price

Original price: $10

So we need 3/4 of $10

10 ÷ 4 = 2.5

2.5(3) = 7.5

3/4 of $10 = 7.5, so the price is now $7.50
