Answer: you got it right

Explanation:

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y

P is 35%, X is 140, so the equation is 35% * 140 = Y

Convert 35% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 35/100 = 0.35

Substitute 0.35 for 35% in the equation: 35% * 140 = Y becomes 0.35 * 140 = Y

Do the math: 0.35 * 140 = 49

Y = amount of discount= 49

So 35% of 140 is 49

140-49= sale price= 91
