a football is selling for 35% off the original price. the original price was $60. what is the sale price of the football.

Sagot :

35% is the same as 0.35
The word "of" in math basically means multiply.
So if 0.35 of 60 is how much is off the original price, then you multiply 0.35 by 60.
=21. So 21 is how much you save. Take 60 and subtract 21 is the answer.
ANSWER: 39
Hope this helped!!
Change 35% to .35. Multiply .35 by 60 You get 21. The sale price was $21 Take 60-21 and you get 39 Your answer is 39
