Can I please get help with math involving percents?
Of course.
Please post a problem.
How do you add / subtract percents?
20% + 30% = 50%
60% - 10% = 50%
Same way you add and subtract other numbers.
How do you do percents like in coupons or sales, or do percents in a clearance isle for example?
20% off this shirt?
Change the percent to a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.
20% off $25 =
0.2 * 25 = $5.00 amount off
With 20% off, the shirt now costs $20.00.
I don't understand.
Can you please explain more?
Which part don't you understand?
convert decimal
OK. Let's say you want to buy a shirt that is advertised for 20% off the regular price.
20% means 20 out of 100 or 20/100. So 20% is 0.20.
When we multiply or divide, we use the decimal form.
OK. I understand.
Thanks for helping me!
