To find the discount, multiply the decimal version of the percent by the original price.
25% = 0.25
0.25 • 35.00 = 8.75
This means there is a $8.75 discount, or $8.75 off in other words.
All that's left to do is subtract the discount amount from the original price.
35.00 - 8.75 = 26.25
So the price of the jeans with the sale is $26.25.

25% off of $35.00 is...

*multiply 35 × .25 (move decimal over to the left twice so that it is not a "percentage")

*35 × .25 = 8.75 (now since 25% is 1/4th of 100% you can multiply 8.75 by 4 to make sure you get the full 100% price of $35.00)

*now you know 8.75 is 25% of $35.00

*subtract 8.75 (25%) from 35 (100%)

*35 - 8.75 = 26.25

*june will pay $26.25 with the 25% sale off of the $35.00 original price of the jeans.
