Question

While shopping you found a pair of pants on sale for 1/4 off the regular price. If the regular price is $35.50, how much will be marked off the price? Round to the nearest cent.
A. $8.00
B. $8.88
C. $8.52

Answer 1

In math "of" usually means "times"
1/4 of $33.50 means (1/4) x $33.50 = 0.25 x $33.50

Sorry, it's $35.50, not 33.50

Answer 3

you need 0.25 x $35.50

Answer 4

Answer 5
