Question

A clothing store in the mall is having a sale. Everything in the store is on sale for 15% off. Julie is buying a T-shirt that has a regular price of $24.80. How much will she pay for the T-shirt?

Answer 1

$21.08

Explanation:

A percent is a portion of 100. If $24.80 is 100% of the price, and we recieve 15% off then we pay 85% of the price. 100%-15%=85%. We find the new price by multiplying 24.80 by the percent as a decimal. 85% is 0.85.

24.80(0.85)=$21.08.
