Question

Ali buys pair of shoes for $18 the price is one fourth off the original price what decimal represents the discount?

Answer 1

The discount is one fourth, or 1/4 as a fraction.

To convert fraction to decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.
1/4= 0.25

You can also convert to a fraction over 100, so that you can create a decimal down to the hundredths place value.
1/4= 25/100= 0.25

Final answer: 0.25
