Marcia went shopping
for new school clothes. She found a purple sweater on sale for 25%
off. If the original price was $32, how much was the sweater's sale
price?
First, we must determine the amount of
the discount in dollars. To do this, we simply multiply the original
price by the discount. The discount must be converted to a decimal.
32 x .25 = 8
Second, we must subtract
the discount amount from the original price. This will tell us the sale
price.
