The original price of the sweater is $80 which is 100% of the price.
If the price is reduced by 25%, then the new price is 75% of the original price since 100% - 25% = 75%.
Now we need to find 75% of $80.
To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.
To convert a percent into a decimal, divide the percent by 100 which is the same as moving the decimal point two places to the left.
Here's how to change 75% into a decimal.
75% = 75/100 = 0.75
Here's how you calculate 75% of $80.
