Question

Browns department store is having a 1/4 off sale. How much would a shirt that regularly sells for $36.00 cost during the sale?

Answer 1

What do you think?

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

Thank you!
