Question

a pair of shoes is originally priced at 120 It is on sale for 35% off . Find the total percent that you would pay a .35% b.120% c.65% d70%

Answer 1

c: 65% of the answer

Explanation:

$120 is 100% we need to find the discount which is 100%-35% = 65%

You will pay now $78 for the shoes.

cross-check 120/100*65 = $78

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

Im not exactly sure about this, but i think for the first step, you would do 120*35/100=42 (35/100 is 35%). Then you take 120 and subtract 42, cuz thats how much you took off. 120-42=78. Then, you do 78/120*100 to get the percent you have left. 78/120*100=65%. The simpler way to do it, seeing as there arent mutiple sales on this pair of shoes, is just subtract 35 from 100 to get 65%
