To do these, always convert the percents to decimals, so you can subtract it from 1. Remember, 1 is the whole. When you subtract the part that's taken off, you are left with what you have to pay. If you have 20% off of $100, then you are paying for 80% of $100. of means to multiply so you would multiply: 0.8X100, which would be $80.

First, multiply 125x0.8

Multiply that answer by 0.7

You should get B. $70

3) multiple 22.90x0.93

You should get D
