Question

This weekend the hardware store is having a blowout sale, where everything is discounted 40%. A weed eater originally sells for $145. How much will the weed eater cost during the blowout sale?

Answer 1

$87

Explanation:

Convert the percentage into a decimal.

40% as a decimal would be 0.4

Multiple 0.4 by 145

You would get 58

Subtract 58 from 145

You get 87

Answer 2

87 dollars hope this helps I can’t really show you how to do it though because I think it will over complicate the problem but
