How do we do this? • What do we mean by 25% off? • Convert the percentage to a decimal. 25% = .25 3) 25% of the total has to come off. What operation should we use? 4) Multiply the decimal by the total and you have your discount. 5) Subtract the discount from the total and you have your discounted price.
Can I afford this? • So the total is $137.93 • I am going to take 25% off of that total. • What am I going to pay now? • Well, 25% of $137.93 = $34.48. This is the discount. • $137.93 - $34.48 = $103.45 This is the discounted price. • Any shortcuts?
