Question

The sale price of a pair of pants is 65 percent of the regular price of 25 dollars. How much do you save by buying the pants on sale?

Answer 1

`\frac {65}{100} = \frac {13}{20} \\\ 25* (13)/(20) = \$ 16.25 \\\ 25-16.25 = 8.75 \\\ Answer: \$8.75`

Answer 2

You need to find the 65% of 25$ :

65/100 x 25 = 16,25$

You will save 16,25$ by buying the pants on sale.
