In a shoe store window, sandy sees a sign announcing twenty-five percent off all sandals in stock. she finds a pair she likes that was originally priced at forty-five dollars. if sandy buys this pair of sandals on sale, how much will she pay?

Step 1) Convert $25 to a decimal:

0.25

Step 2) Multiply that by the amount the sandals cost.

$0.25×$45=$11.25

Step 3) Subtract from the amount you last got.

$45-$11.25=

$33.75

And there we have it! Our answer came out to $33.75.
So, with the 25% off, Sandy is now only paying $33.75 instead of $45.
