Question

Please help. An item is regularly priced at `$40`. Michael bought it on sale for `35%` off the regular price, How much did Michael pay?

Answer 1

`$26` was paid.

Explanation:

You can calculate the final amount by finding the amount that was paid directly, rather than calculating how much was deducted first.

`100%-35% = 65%` was paid.

Find `65%` of `$40`

`65/100 xx40 = $26`
