New navy is having a 40 sale on everything in the store. Employees get 25% off the sale price. How much would an employee have to pay for a sweater oringally worth $180?

Answer 1

$81

Explanation:

The sweater is originally priced at $180. During the 40 sale the price would by 40% off which means you pay 60% of the original price. We can find this by multiplying by the percent 60 converted into a decimal.

180(0.60)=108

As an employee, you'd receive an additional 25% off the sale price. This means you would pay 75% of the sale price. We can find this by multiplying by the percent 75 converted into a decimal.

108(0.75)=81.

The employee price at the sale is $81.
