A football is selling for 35% off the original price. The original price was $60. What is the sale price of the football?
please answer them sepreatly.

Answer 1

320 * 2 = 640

10% of 60 is 6
5% of 60 is 3
6 + 6 + 6 + 3 = 21
60 - 21 = 39

Answer 2

1. 640 2. $39

Explanation:

1. 50 percent = half of the number so $320 is the sale price we just multiply it by 2 = 320 x 2 = 640

2. first, we find 35% of 60 = 21 then we subract it by 60 = 60 - 21 = $39

Have a wonderful day
