Example Question #181 : Grade 7

A sweater was originally $\$38.00$ , but the department store is running a $10\%$ off sale. What is the sale price of the sweater?

Possible Answers:

$\$26.00$

$\$14.20$

$\$3.80$

$\$20.40$

$\$34.20$

Correct answer:

$\$34.20$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to calculate $10\%$ of . The key word "of" is indicative of multiplication; however, we need to start by converting the percentage into a decimal because you cannot multiply a number by a percent.

We can convert a percent into a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left:

$10\%\rightarrow0.10$

Next, we can multiply:

$\frac{\begin{array}[b]{r}38\\ \times\ .10\end{array}}{ \ \ \ \space 3.80}$

Remember, we are taking $10\%$ off the original price, which means we need to subtract.

$\frac{\begin{array}[b]{r}38.00\\ -\ 3.80\end{array}}{ \ \ \space 34.20}$
