Question

Jackie bought a pair of shoes that were discounted at 35% off the original price of $140.A) How much money did Jackie save on the shoes? B) How much did the shoes cost after the discount?

Answer 1

ANSWERS

A) $49

B) $91

Step-by-step explanation

The original price of the shoes was $140 and they are 35% off.

A) The money she saved on the shoes is the amount of discount. We have to find the 35% of 140,

`140\cdot(35)/(100)=49`

Hence, Jackie saved $49 on the shoes.

B) The cost of the shoes after the discount is the original price minus the money she saved on the shoes - found in part A,

`140-49=91`

Hence, the shoes cost $91 after the discount.
