Question

A football is selling for 35% off the original price. The original

price was $60. What is the sale price of the football?

Answer 1

35% is the same as 0.35

The word "of" in math basically means multiply.

So if 0.35 of 60 is how much is off the original price, then you multiply 0.35 by 60.

=21. So 21 is how much you save. Take 60 and subtract 21 is the answer.

ANSWER: 39
