Answer 1

The answer is 13
25/100 X 80/1
25/10 X 8/1
25 X 8 = 200
200 divided by 10 is 20
20/100 X 65/1
20 X 65= 1,300
1,300 divided by 100 is 13
I made them into fractions.
These were the steps^ :D

Answer 2

You would spend $52 on sandals.
Turn 25% into a decimal. Which gives you .65
Multiply $80 by .65 and that will give you $52.
