Think about it.   If Browns Department Store is having a 1/4 off sale and a t-shirt is 36 dollars you do 36/4

arcadiouse · Answer

Then you get 9.    After that you do 36-9 = ?

mathmale · Answer

In this context, "off" represents a discount resulting in a sale price.

You'd pay 1/4 less.

Multiply the regular price by 1/4 to obtain the discount.

The sale price would then be (regular price) - (discount).

Show your work, please.

Please include units of measurement:  $36 (not just 36).
