The original price of a book is $25. The book is on sale for 30% off.

What percent of the price are we paying? What is the price you will pay
for the book?

Answer:

You will pay 70% of the original price. You will pay $17.50

Explanation:

100% is full price because 100%=1 (one whole).

100% - 30% = 70%

70% = 0.7

0.7 multiplied by $25 is $17.50
