Question

Ms. Latouche goes shopping. She buys a sweater that normally costs $25.00, but today

there is a 15% off sale in the store. How much did Ms. Latouche pay for her new
sweater?

Answer 1

$21.25

Explanation:

When finding the amount from a percentage you move the decimal over twice in the percentage.

25 x 0.15 = 3.75

Then subtract what you get to find how much she spent:

25 - 3.75 = 21.25

Hope this helps!! :)
