Question

Jeans cost $38. They are on sale for 45% off. What is the sale price?

Show your work, please

Answer 1

$20.9

Explanation:

First you find what 45% of the cost is:

0.45 x 38 = 17.1

Then, because this is a special/decrease in original price, you subtract:

38 - 17.1 = 20.9

$20.9

Answer 2

17.10 is the sale price.
I don’t know how to explain but hope this helps.
