Question

The shoes you want are $95. They are on sale for 40% off . What is the sale price for the shoe ?

Answer 1

57

Explanation:

90 - 40% = 57

Answer 2

The shoes would be $57

Explanation:

To calculate percentage you use the equation:

P% x N = A

Before we use it we convert the number 40 into the tenths place of a decimal, 0.40.

Now we use it!

.40 x 95 = 38

38 would be 40%, so we remove it from the last total aka 95

95 - 38 = 57
