a pair of shoes is originally priced at 120 It is on sale for 35% off. Find the total percent that you would pay a. 35% b. 120% c. 65% d70%

c: 65% of the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

$120 is 100% we need to find the discount which is 100%-35% = 65%

You will pay now $78 for the shoes.

cross-check 120/100*65 = $78

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Im not exactly sure about this, but i think for the first step, you would do 120*35/100=42 (35/100 is 35%). Then you take 120 and subtract 42, cuz thats how much you took off. 120-42=78. Then, you do 78/120*100 to get the percent you have left. 78/120*100=65%. The simpler way to do it, seeing as there arent mutiple sales on this pair of shoes, is just subtract 35 from 100 to get 65%
