Jeans are on sale at the local department store for 25% off. If the jeans originally cost $55 find the sale price. (Round to nearest cent)
The original price=$55
The discount is=(25/100)($55)=.25(55)=$13.75
Then the sale price is (=)the original price ($55)- the discount ($13.75)
The sale price= $55-$13.75=$41.25
Happy Calculating!!!

25% off of the original cost of $55.00 = (.25)(55)=$13.75 off.
(Original cost) - (25% off) = $55.00 - $13.75 = $41.25 sales price of jeans.
