Sagot :

ANSWERS

A) $49

B) $91

EXPLANATION

The original price of the shoes was $140 and they are 35% off.

A) The money she saved on the shoes is the amount of discount. We have to find the 35% of 140,

[tex]140\cdot\frac{35}{100}=49[/tex]

Hence, Jackie saved $49 on the shoes.

B) The cost of the shoes after the discount is the original price minus the money she saved on the shoes - found in part A,

[tex]140-49=91[/tex]

Hence, the shoes cost $91 after the discount.
