Ahmed Daugherty · Answer 1

Step 1) Convert $25 to a decimal:

0.25

Step 2) Multiply that by the amount the sandals cost.

$0.25*$45=$11.25

Step 3) Subtract from the amount you last got.

$45-$11.25=

$33.75

And there we have it! Our answer came out to $33.75.

So, with the 25% off, Sandy is now only paying $33.75 instead of $45.
