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 $

65/100 * 85 = x (new price of the jacket)

Step-by-step explanation:

The above question has the necessary information we need to derive the expression.

Here, Samantha found a jacket which its initial (original price was $85) but since it has a 35% price reduction, due to the fact that the store is having a close sale, the new price will be;

(100-35) % = 65%

The expression will them be

65/100 * 85 = x (here x is the new price for the jacket)
