A $250 Sweden jacket is on sale for 20% off how much should you pay for the jacket

To find percentages, change the percentage to a decimal and multiply the decimal by the original price/number.

20%=0.2

250(0.2)=50

This means that 20% of 250 is 50, which means that the jacket is $50 off the original price. That means that you will pay $200 for the jacket.

I hope this helps :)

cross multiply to find your answer

x/250 = 20/100

250 X 20= 5000

5000=100x

x = 50

250 - 50 = 200

hope this helps :)
