Question

Which pair of sneakers has the lowest sale price?

15% off $30
20% off $35
10% off $29
30% off $38

Answer 1

we need to convert these percentages into decimal points and then we multiply that result with the price.

Answer 2

okay thanks :) @UsukiDoll

Answer 3

let's do the first one as an example
15% off $30
15% in decimal form is 0.15
so 0.15 x 30 = $4.50 off the original price
you take that discount and apply to the original price... we do this using subtraction
$30 - $4.50 = $25.50

Answer 4

I left something out by accident.. when you convert a percent into a decimal you need to move the decimal point two places to the left

you can also use division as well to obtain the decimal form
for example we know that 100% is the max and since the first problem is 15%, we use division

15/ 100 = 0.15

Answer 5

thanks.... i figured out the question

Answer 6

then multiply 0.15 with $30 to obtain the discount amount
which is $4.50
You take $4.50 off the original price of $30
so the new amount will be $25.50
