The original price of a $250 coat increased 7% last year. The coat is now on sale for one-half off of the new price. What is the sale price? Please help y’all

Answer:$133.75

Step-by-step explanation: So you would convert the 7% into a decimal of .07. You would multiply that by the original price of $250 and you would get $17.5 which is how much it increased. That would equal $267.5 And you would just divide that in half for your final answer of $133.75. Super easy if you know what to do. :)
