Question

Next week, everything at a store is on sale. The store offers a 30% discount. If the regular price of a sweatshirt is $35.00, what is the discount price? Write an equation to show how the storekeeper could find the discount of any item at the store.

Answer 1

Answer:

30% of $35.00 is $10.50. The price of the sweatshirt would be $24.50 after the discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

$35.00 / 10% = $3.50

$3.50 = 10%

If you multiply both by 3 then you get your answer

$3.50 x 3 = $10.50

10% x 3 = 30%

$10.50 = 30%
