A pair of sneakers is regularly at $ 52. It is on sale for 15% off of the regular price, what is the sale price of the sneakers?

Respuesta :

If it is 15% off, then that means it is 85% of the regular price.

52 x .85 = $44.20

The answer is $44.20!

Alternatively, you can do:

52 x .15 = 7.8
52 - 7.8 = 44.2!
Your answer is 44.20.
Covert 15% into a decimal 0.15
Multiply 0.15 X 52 =7.80
Subtract 52 - 7.80 -44.20
