Question

 Jen wants to buy a dress that originally had the price of $33, but now it is on sale 10% off. How much will Jen pay for the dress

Answer 1

$29.70

Explanation:

The word of in an equation or expression = multiply.

10 percent of $33 = 1/10 x 33/1 or 33/10 ($3.30)

$33 - $3.30 = $29.70

Answer 2

You take ten percent of 33, which is 3.3, and subtract it from the original price.
33-3.3=29.7 which means the final price is $29.70
