Finding 75% and 50% and 25%?

Question

I'm not the best when it comes to math...........

When I go shopping and see the "sales" sign saying "75 %" off......how do I find the price to that



For example there are paire of boots that are 65 dollars and they are 75% off.

Can someone show me step by step to figure what the price will be if it is 75% off?

Answer 1

75% means 75/100 or 3/4
So when it is 75% off,it means that 3/4 of the price is reduced and you have to pay only 1/4 th of the marked price
Hence if the marked or original price of a pair of boots is 65 dollars and it is 75% off,you just pay 1/4th of $65 or $16.25
Similarly 25% means 1/4 th of the price is off and you have to pay 3/4 th of the marked price.
50% off means 1/2 of the price is discounted and you have to pay just half of the marked or original price.

Answer 2

If the original price is 65 dollars and the tag says 75% off, the sale price will be:

65 (100 - 75) / 100 = 65 x 25 / 100 = 16.25 dollars that is 16 dollars and 25 cents.

Answer 3

The percent sign (%) means 'that many out of 100'. So 50% is 50/100, and 50 is half of 100, so 50% is half. If you see a cell phone that has a normal price of $400 and it is 50% off, then the final price is 50% less than $400, which is half of $400, which is $200. Similarly, 75 is three quarters of 100, so 75% off means that 75% of the price has been removed, which means that 100%-75%=25% of the price is left. A quarter of 65 is 65*0.25 (0.25 is the decimal notation for a quarter), which equals $16.25.

Answer 4

1 - multiply whatever the original selling price is, by the % off. (remember that percentages are always out of 100 - i.e. 75% = 75/100 or .75, simple enough)

if the boots are $65 at 75% off, then 65 * .75 = $48.75

2 - the $48.75 is how much the price is discounted. so then you will need to subtract that from the original selling price.

$65 - $48.75 = $16.25

so a $65 pair of boots at 75% off are $16.25

good deal!

Answer 5

Carry a calculator with you and do this:

Take whatever price off the item is, and subtract that from 100. Example: if an item is 75% off, subtract 75 from 100. You get 25.

Now add a decimal before the 25 to get .25
Multiply .25 by the price of the item to get the new price.
If the original price was $8.50, multiply $8.50 by .25 to get 2.125 or $2.13 (.125 rounds up to .13)

If an item is 20% off you'd do this:
100 - 20 = 80 = .80

Original price = $7.50

7.50 x .8 = $6.00

Answer 6

when a good of x dollars is for 25% off, it means u need to pay 100-25 = 75% of the original price of the good, i.e, 75% of x.

suppose if it is for 65 dollars and it is available for 75% off, u nedd to pay

25 % of 65
= 25 / 100 *65
= 16.25 dollars

Answer 7

first find a quarter of the price (1/4) by dividing it in half twice. 65 divided by 2 is 32.5. Then divide that by 2 again and you get 16.25. Then multiply that by 3 to get 75% of the original price which is $48.75 off. So $65 minus 48.75 is the final price of $16.25

Answer 8

65 =100%
0.65 =1%

75% off means 25 % left

0.65 *25 =16.25
