A store is having a closing sale. All items in the store are 35% off. Samantha found a jacket she wants to buy with an original price tag of 85$. Wich expression will find the price of the jacket after applying the sale?

The final price paid by Samantha is 55.25 $

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out the final price of the jacket for Samantha we need to calculate how much 35% of 85 $ is and subtract the original price by it. So we have:

price of discount = 85*(35%) = 85*(35/100) = 85*(0.35) = 29.75 $

Now we can compute the final price by subtracting the original price by the price of discount. So we have:

final price = original price - price of discount = 85 - 29.75 = 55.25 $
