Question

Jackson needs a pair of cleats.the pair he chooses costs 85.00.He has a coupon for 15% off.How much did he then pay?

plz help

Answer 1

Percent makes the number go back two spaces so 15% becomes 0.15

85 x 0.15 = 12.75

12.75 is the discount so we subtract that off.

85-12.75=72.25

$72.25 would be the answer

Explanation:

Answer 2

75.25

Step-by-step explanation

A coupon for 15%off means it only costs (1-0.15) times the original price

So, 85.00*0.85=72.25
