Question

William bought a new sweater at the store when they were having a 45 percent off sale.

If the regular price of the sweater was $19, how much did William pay with the discount?

Answer 1

Hi there! Do you know how to tackle this or need some help? :)

Answer 2

So basically we just have to calculate the 45% of the regular price, you see?

Answer 3

So the price he pay would be 19-45%(19)

What value do you get?

Answer 4

What is 45% of 19?

Answer 5

8.55

Answer 6

Now we just need to take that 8.55 from the 19, what do you get?

Answer 7

10.45

Answer 8

So that's how much William paid with the discount: $10.45
