Question

Nell bought a swimsuit on sale for 25% off the original price. If the original price was $32. what was the price of the swimsuit before tax?

a. $57
b. $40
c. $24
d. $8

(with explanation)

Answer 1

in my opinion for this question I would do 100-25= 75 so now you have 75% or .75
32 times .75= 24
B. $24

It’s easier to do 75% because it’s one step less
