Question

Lucy went shopping for a new pair of sneakers because of a sale. The store was offering a 25% discount. What number should she multiply the prices on the tags by to find the price she would have to pay, before tax, in one step?

Answer 1

0.75

Explanation:

Since it is 25 percent off and 100-25=75

we are paying for 75% of the price

so we multiply by 75% by turning it into a decimal by dividing 75 by 100 or moving the decimal 2 places to the left

75/100

0.75

hopes this helps
