Question

Macys is having a one-day 35% off special. If Sara bought $124.50 worth of items, what would the final bill total after applying the discount of 35%?

Answer 1

$80.93

Explanation:

We need to multiply Sara's bill by 35%, which is also
`(35)/(100)`

So
`(124.50)((35)/(100) )= 43.58`

This is the amount that is deducted from Sara's bill. So now we need to subtract $43.58 from $124.50 to get her final bill of $80.93

Answer 2

`80.93`

Explanation:

Multiply the total by the percentage.

`124.5 * .35 = 43.58`

Subtract from total.

$
`124.5 - 43.58 = 80.93`

`80.93` is your total.
