42 is 24% of what?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

lets look at it this way..

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

If something costs $42 and is on sale for 24% off, then how much would it cost?

OpenStudy (fredoneedshelp):

um

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

There are many ways of calculating your discount and final purchase price. One way is to multiply 42 dollars by 24 percent, and then divide the answer by one hundred, then deduct that result from the original price. + Purchase Price = $42 - Discount (42 x 24)/100 = $10.08 = Final Price 42 - 10.08 = $31.92

OpenStudy (fredoneedshelp):

10.08

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
