Question

Cecilia wants to buy a new backpack. The one that she wants is on sale for 25% off. The original price is $40. What is the sale price?

Answer 1

Move the decimal point for the 25% so it would be .25 multiply that by 40 so .25x40= 10

subtract 10 from the original price because it's a discount so 40-10

your answer is $30.00

Answer 2

$30 because 25% is 1/4 and 1/4 of 40 is 10 subtracted from 40 is 30 your final answer. $30
