Question

Kendra bought a pair of $125 jeans for $93.75. What percent was taken off from the original price?

Answer 1

25% off!!!!!!!! Divide 125 by 93.75 to see what percentage you paid for it (75% is what you paid) and then subtract 100%-75% to see what you paid for

Answer 2

25%

Explanation:

p/w =x/100 for a percentage

93.75/125 = x/100

93.75×100= 9375

9375 = 125x

9375/125 =75

x=75

So she paid 75% of the original price, meaning the jeans were 25% off.
