Find the sale price.
Original price: $50

Discount: 15%

Sale price: $__?
How would you set up an equation that would help find the sale price. this has always been my down subject. and always have needed lots of help.

The sales price would be $7.50, and with $7.50 off, the new price would be $42.50. I have never been good at percentages but here’s how I do it...

If it’s a percent then it’s fraction is just the number above an 100 then multiply that b the original price

15/100•50=7.5

How to remember is, what is 15% of 50? And “of” always means multiply so just multiply them

Hope this helps!
