Question

Katherine purchased a pair of shoes on Boxing Day that originally cost $60 but was

discounted by 15%. Calculate how much she paid for the pair of shoes.



Pls help fast

Answer 1

Answer: $51
Explanation: After the discount, the price of the shoes would be 100-15=85%. So, 85/100=x/60.(x is the cost of the shoes after the discount.) x equals 85*60/100, which is 51.
I hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

The answer is $51. If you take the original amount and subtract 15% from it you get $51.
