Answer:
48.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Price: 75
Reduction: 35%
Formula
Sale Price = Original Price - 35%*Original Price
Solution
To answer this, I have to assume you know what the distributive property is.
- Briefly, there is a common factor on either side of the - minus sign.
- Put brackets on the right side.
- Take out the common factor.
- Sale price = (Original Price - 35% Original Price)
- Now take out the common factor
- Sale Price = Original Price (1 - 35%)
1 - 35% = 1 - 35/100 = 65/100
So the formula becomes
Sale Price=original price * 65/100
Sale Price = 75 * 65/100
Sale Price = 48.75
