Question

Jeans are on sale with a 65% off. The jeans originally cost $72. What is the sales price?

Answer 1

As the sales price is 65% off you find the 65% of the original cost and then substract it from the original cost:

$\begin{gathered} 72\cdot0.65=46.8 \\ \\ 72-46.8=25.2 \end{gathered}$Then, the sales price is $25.2
