Question

Ms mitchell buys a new pair of boots that originally cost $65.00 but now are on sale for 15% off what is the sales price of the boots

Answer 1

The sale price would be $55.25.

Answer 2

First find the markdown
markdown = 15% × original price
markdown = 15% × 65
markdown = 0.15 × 65
markdown = 9.75

Second find the sale price
sale price = original price - markdown
sale price = 65.00 - 9.75
sale price = 55.25

The sale price of the boots is $55.25
