Robert bought a pair of shoes that were on sale for 30% off the original price of $79.95. Which is closest to the sale price of the pair of shoes?​

Answer:

I think you are asking for the price Robert paid after the 30% off. There are two ways to do this. The first way is to find 30% of the full price and substract it from the full price or we could find 70% of the full price.

Lets make x the new price.

Step-by-step explanation:

First way:

x = 79.95 - (79.95 x 0.30)

x = 79.95 - 23.985

x = 55.965

(we round to the hundredth)

x = 55.97

Second way:

x = 79.95 x 0.70

x = 55.965

(we round to the hundredth)

x = 55.97
