Question

A pair of shoes that originally sold at $30 is now being offered at a 25% discount.

What is its present price?

Answer 1

Refer to explanation

Explanation:

The screenshot you put is the correct answer, here's another method to get the same answer:

Find what 25% is.

100% = 30

1% = 30 ÷ 100 = 0.30

25% = 0.30 x 25 = 7.50

Find the price after the 25% discount.

100 - 25 = 75

75% = 30 - 7.50 = 22.50 or 0.30 x 75 = 22.50 (Both solutions give the same answer)

Answer 2

$22.5

Explanation:

You will pay $22.5 for a item with original price of $30 when discounted 25%.
