Question

11) Gretchen purchased a dress that originally cost $89.99. It was marked down 30% off. What was the cost of the

dress?
O a.) $65.99
Ob.) $63.99
Oc.) $62.99
Od.) $64.99

Answer 1

Answer is c. $62.99
Step by step
89.99 x 70% = x
89.99 x .70 = 62.99
Hint: If the dress was 30% off, it’s cost is 70%

You can also do this in two steps
89.99 x 30% = discount of $27.
Then
89.99 - $27 = $62.99
