Answer:
0.65
Explanation:
We are given that,
Original cost of the pair of boots = $95
Also, the boots are 35% off.
Since, the discount is 35% of the total amount.
The remaining amount to be paid = 100 - 35 = 65% of the total amount.
Thus, the discounted price = 65% of the total amount
i.e. The discounted price = 65% × $95 = 0.65 × $95 = $61.75
Hence, we need to multiply 0.65 to $95 to get the discounted price of $61.75.
