Question

A garment is on sale for 35% off the regular price. If the regular price is $48.80, then what is the sale price?

Answer 1

Answer:

sale price : $31.72

Step-by-step explanation:

regular price is 100%

sale price, 100% - 35% = 65%

100% --->  $48.80

1% ----> $48.80 / 100 = $0.488

65% --->$0.488 * 65 = $31.72

OR,

we know sale price = total price - discount price = 100% - 35% = 65%

so 65% * $48.80 =  $31.72

Answer 2

Answer:

$31.62

Step-by-step explanation:

If something is 35% off, it is 65% of the original price.

0.65 (48.8) = $31.72
