Question

Water land Adventure is having a 2-day sale on their water slides. The original price of the Ultimate Spiral Slide was $549. If it is on sale for 65% off, what will be the sale price of the slide?

Answer 1

so 65% off means find 65 percent of orignal price and subtract from original price
percent means parts out of 100 so
65%=65/100
'of' means multiply
65% of 549=65/100 times 540=35100/100=351/1=351
351 is disctount
subtract
549-351=198
answer is $198=sale price
