Question

Maria has a 30% coupon for her $60 dollar jeans, what is the new price

Answer 1

Answer: $42

Explanation:

Since she has a 30% coupon, the new price of the jeans will be 30% of the original price subtracted from the original price

Original price = $60

You need to take out 30% of $60

Make 30% a decimal

.30 x $60

0.3 x $60 = $18

Now subtract the money she saved from the initial price to get her new price

New price = $60 - $18 = $42

Answer 2

$42

Explanation:

Since she has a 30% coupon, the new price of the jeans will be 30% of the original price subtracted from the original price

Original price = $60

Therefore

30% of $60

Make 30% a decimal

30/100 x $60

0.3 x $60 = $18

New price = $60 - $18

= $42

The new price for the jeans is $42
