Question

A pair of pants that Jessica wants are usually $39. If the store is having a 33% off sale, how much will the pants cost

Answer 1

Answer: $12.87

Explanation:

You need to set up your equation. We are trying to find x.

Step 1:
`(x)/(39) = (33)/(100)`

Step 2: Multiply across: 39 x 33 divided by 100.

39 x 33 = 1287

1287 divided by 100 = $12.87

Answer: $12.87
