Question

Adam went shopping for a new pair of sneakers because of a sale. The store was offering a 5% discount. What number should he multiply the prices on the tags by to find the price he would have to pay, before tax, in one step?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.95

Explanation:

If 5% is the discount, then Adam pays 100%-5%=95% of the original price. 95% is equal to 0.95 in decimal form.
