Question 830560: A store has sale for 25% off. You decide to buy a sweater that usually costs $30.
a) How much money will you save?
b) How much money will you spend on the sweater?
I'm having a hard time understanding how to work it out, so if you could show me how, step by step it would really help. Thank you so much!
Answer by JulietG(1812)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The sweater usually costs $30.
You're getting 25% off.
To find out your savings, multiply the original price by the discount.
.
30 * 0.25 = 7.5
If you're saving $7.50 on a purchase of $30.00, how much will it cost you?
$30.00 - $7.50 = $22.50
