Question

A bed is on sale for 25% off of its original price. It originally cost $879.00. How much is the sale price of the bed?

Answer 1

224.25

Explanation:

think of quarters, one is 25 cents, and it takes four to make a dollar. Then if you have a dollar and you want a quarter of it, you divide the dollar by 4, divide $879.00 by four to get 224.25!

Answer 2

$659.25

Explanation:

Since its 25 percent off we need to see what it would look as a decimal

1-.25=.75

879times.75= 659.25
