Question

The original price of a pair of shoes is $29.95. The shoes are on sale for 30% off. Which expression would calculate the sale price of the shoes?

29.95 – 0.30

0.70(29.95)

0.30(29.95)

29.95 – 0.70

Answer 1

$29.95 is 100% of the original price.
The shoes are on sale for 30% off so we need 70% of the price.
(70%/100%)*$29.95-price after sale

0.70*(29.95) is expression that would calculate the sale price of the shoes.
20.965 is the sale price of the shoes.
