Hey Mr.Smith, I really want that shirt but it costs $25 and I only have $20. It says its 35% off but I do not know what my total is going to be
40% OFF!
35% OFF!
That is easy Joe! First you want to rewrite the percentage into decimal form and subtract it by 100%. Then you woul-
40% OFF!
WHOAOAOAOOA!!! Slow down Mr.Smith! How do I even convert a percentage into a decimal form?
40% OFF!
35% OFF!
Let me take it slower. What you want to remember is that 100% is 1 in decimal form which any other number would just be less than 1. For example, 25% in decimal would be 0.25. Which 35% would be what in decimal form?
CORRECT!
40% OFF!
It would be 0.35, correct?
40% OFF!
35% OFF!
Correct!
Since you got the discount percentage into a decimal form, not subtract it from the total percentage which is 100%
40% OFF!
Since you said 100% is 1, 1-0.35 is 0.65!
40% OFF!
35% OFF!
That's correct! You see you have enough money to buy the shirt
Now multiply the decimal you got by the total prize number which you will get your total discounted price!
40% OFF!
0.65 times 25 is 16.25 which means the shirt costs $16.25
Thank you Mr.Smith you taught me how easy it is to calculate discounted prizes!
