Question 762407
The coat strated at $300.
Divide a percentage by 100 to get the decimal value.
25%/100 = 0.25
{{{300 + 0.25*300 = 375}}}
The price went up to 375.
{{{375 - 375*0.25 = 281.25}}}
At the clearance sale the coat was down to $281.25. That means that it was under the original value of the coat. This is because the larger the number, the higher the same percentage would be. For example 25% of 1 is 0.25. But 25% of 4 is 1.
