Question

Sam’s discount shoes is have a 40 percent off sale. A — use the percent ruler at right to find how much Lorna will save on her purchase of 80 dollar professional basketball shoes. B What will she pay for the shoes?

Answer 1

40% off that means her shoes will be 60% of the value so 80* 0.6 or 60% = $48 she will pay and 32 she will save

Answer 2

A, 32

B, 48

Explanation:

Since the discount is 40% off, she will save 40% of the 80 dollar shoes, which is 40% of 80 dollars. 40 * 80 = 3200, and 3200/100 = 32 dollars worth of savings. She will pay a total of 80 dollars minus the 32 dollar discount to get a total of 48 dollar payment.
