Question

Samantha went shopping with her friend Ally and found the sneakers she wanted on sale. The

regular price of the sneakers are $140 but today they are 25% off (that means she is paying 75% of
the regular price). What did Samantha pay for the sneakers on sale?

Answer 1

$105

Explanation:

In a situation like this you have to look at 140 as 100, if you have 4 quarters that is 1 dollar in change, take away one quarter and you have 75(%), which in this case is what Samantha has to pay. So to solve this you find 140 divided by 4 (35) then multiply that by 3 (105) and there is your answer!
