Question

Charlie bought a pair of shorts at the store when they were having a
45
%
45% off sale. If the regular price of the pair of shorts was
$
24
$24, how much did Charlie pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

Well, we just multiply 24 and 0.45! (45% = 45/100 = 0.45) When we do that, we get 10.8. Now, a common mistake is to just say 10.8 is the answer. Unfortunately for Charlie, that is only how much is being taken off

Answer 2

Answer:

$22.8 is the correct answer
