Question

A pair of boots that originally sold for $75.32 are on sale for 22% off.
How much will you pay for the shoes after the discount? (not including tax)

Answer 1

Answer:

The boots will be $58.75

Step-by-step explanation:

first you cross multiply

$\frac{x}{75.32}$ x $\frac{22}{100}$

you then get 1,657.04= 100x, so divide by 100 on both sides to get

16.5704 = X  

Subtract X (the 22% discount amount) from the original price to get the new price of $58.75!
