If you bought a pair of shoes that were originally $69.00 but you got a discount of 25%?

November 19th, 2009 | by admin |

How much would they cost? And how did you get it?

69 x .25 = 17.25

so

$69.00 – $17.25 = $51.75

They would cost $51.75

    69 x .25 = 17.25

    so

    $69.00 – $17.25 = $51.75

    They would cost $51.75

    69.00x.25=17.25

    $69.00 – 25% of $69.00

    25% = .25

    69 – .25(69)

    69 – 17.25

    $51.75

    ok x’s 69 by .25 69 x .25 = 17.25
    subtract the discount of 17.25 from 69.00… 69.00- 17.25 = 51.75
    total price after 25% off is $51.75

    25% is going to be a quarter of the cost.

    so:

    $69.00 divide by 4. This equals the total discount that your going to receive (which is $17.25).

    now, if you take the original price of the shoes, and take off the discounted amount, you’ll get this:

    $69.00

    minus

    $17.25

    equals

    $51.75

    I hope you understood that. Thats how i’d work it out, i know there are easier ways.

    goodluck :)

    Firstly you must find 25% of 69:
    69 * 0.25
    = 17.25
    Then Subtract this from 69
    69 – 17.25 = 51.75
    Therefore the shoes would cost $51.75

    To change percent to decimal, move the decimal over to the left two places. For example: 50%=.50,
    75%=.75
    You change 25% to a decimal by moving the decimal over to the left two places to make 25%=.25
    Multiply $69 X .25 =$17.25
    Then you Subtract $17.25 from $69 = $51.75

    Multiply the original price, in this case $69 by .25 (which is the same as 25%). The result is 17.25, this is the 25% that is taken off. So then just subtract the discount from the original price, and you get $51.75.

    Discount means the price is reduced, in this case, by 25%.

    25% means 25/100, which simplifies to 1/4. When talking about a discount of 25%, it does not mean you pay 1/4 of the full price. It means you subtract 1/4 of the full price from your cost, or 3/4 of the full price.

    So you multiply 69 by 3/4.
    =69*3/4
    =207/4
    =51.75

    Your shoes would cost $51.75. Not too bad if they’re Sketchers.

    They would cost $51.75.
    You multiply $69.00 by 0.25, then you get 17.25. Then take that away from 69.

    PLEASE HELP ME!

    Short cut method,

    Selling Price(S.P)=
    100 – Discount%
    ______________ x Marked Price(M.P)
    100

    = 100 – 25
    _________ x 69
    100

    = 75
    _____ x69
    100

    = 0.75 x 69 [simplification of fraction]

    = 51.75

    S.P = $ 51.75

    Therefore, the shoes cost $ 51.75 after the discount offered.

    69-25%
    69/4=17.25
    25%=$17.25
    $69-$17.25=$51.75
    The shoes would cost $51.75
