Question

A sporting goods store had a sale for 40% off. What is the total you would pay for an item that was originally $45.00?

( Please explain your answer )

Answer 1

$27

Explanation:

$45 * .40 (same thing as 40%)

$45 * .40 = 18 (this is how much 40% of $45 is)

$45 - 18 = $27 (you subtract 18 because it’s 40% off)

$27 (final answer)
