Question

I need help on solving this math problem.  Thank you

 

the original price of an object is 90. if there is a sale for 72 percent of the original price. what is the sale price of the item

Answer 1

Maria,

 

Original price is $90

 

Sale for 72% of original price

 

So sale price is 72/100 of 90

 

= (72/100)*90 = $64.80

Answer 2

The math way is {90x.72=}. Percentiles are represented mathematically as decimals: {10%=.10; 100%=1.00}. Multiplying 90 by .72 will give you the answer 64.8. 64.8 is 72% of 90. Hope that helps.
