Question

here's my problem: chris bought a movie ticket for $10.80 wile the store was having a 25% off sale. the sale is now over. how much would the same movie cos today?

Answer 1

ok, so the 25% off means that chris bought the ticket for 75% of the price

Answer 2

so .75x = 10.80
x = 10.80/.75
x = 14.40

Answer 3

now let's check it - 14.4 - (.25x1.4) = ?
14.40 - 3.60 = 10.80

Answer 4

yep!

Answer 5

sorry (.25 x 14.4) in the line above last
