Margaret bought a pair of pants that were on sale for 30 percent off of the original price. if the original price of pants was $29, what was the sales price of the pants?
20.3. The original price of 29 just needs to be multiplies by the decimal of the sale (.30) (29*.30) and that should give you 8.7. Now that you know how much has been reduced then you can subtract it from the 29 and it should be 20.3.
