Question

A pan has an original price of $32 but is marked down by 15 percent. Which equation shows the new price of the pan?

(32 dollars) (100 percent minus 15 percent) = (32 dollars) (85 percent) = 27 dollars and 20 cents
(32 dollars) (15 percent) = 4 dollars and 80 cents
(32 dollars) (15 percent) + 32 dollars = 4 dollars and 80 cents + 32 dollars = 36 dollars and 80 cents
(32 dollars) (185 percent) = 59 dollars and 20 cents

Answer 1

Explanation:

15 percent of 32 is 4.8

32 - 4.8 is 27.20
