Question

Michael Jordan wants to buy some new Air Jordan shoes. The original price of the shoes is $185 dollars. They are currently on sale for 40 % off. How much will he have to pay for the shoes?

Answer 1

$111

Explanation:

• Original price of the shoes is $185
• The shoes are on sale for 40% off

To calculate 40% of the original price:

• 40% as a decimal is 0.40

To calculate percentage amount, take the percentage (as a decimal) and multiply it by the original amount

• So 40% of $185 is 0.40 * $185 = $74

To calculate the sale price, take the original price and subtract the amount of the discount

• Original price: $185
• Discount amount: $74
• Sale price: $185 - $74 = $111

Therefore, the amount Michael Jordan will have to pay for the shoes on 40% off sale is $111.

Answer 2

Answer: you will have to pay 111$ and you will save up 74$ thanks to the discount. * i hope im right*
