Question

What is the sale price of a cell phone that is on sale for 15% off if the regular price is $75?


$60.00
$63.75
$64.25



what equation should i use to figure this out

Answer 1

Start out with the equation (15/100) = (x/75)

Cross multiply and you get: 100x = 1125

Simplify for x: x = 11.25

So now you have $11.25 off. Subtract that from the original price:
75-11.25 = 63.75

Your answer is 63.75
