Question

Swim floats are on sale at Sam’s

Swim Shop. They are marked 30%
off of the original price of
$18.00. How much will the float
cost?

Answer 1

$12.60

Explanation:

30% is just 0.3 of a number, do 100%-30% which gives you 70% or 0.7, 0.7 of 18 would be 12.6 or $12.60

Answer 2

$12.60

Explanation:

30% of 18 = 5.4

18 - 5.4 = 12.6

Answer is $12.60
