Chet found a pair of sunglasses that he would like to buy. they normaly cost $43.00, but this week they are on sale for only 7/8 of the usual price. How much money will chet need to buy the sunglasses?

Ok, so this is a simple problem

since its 7/8 of the price now, you do $43 divided by 8 to get the unit rate ...

5.375 which rounds up to $5.38.

now since theres only 7/8, do 5.38x7 and your answer will be $37.66
