7 (15) = 105

10% off means u r paying for 90% ...

0.9 (105) = 94.50 <=

Jaslyn Sexton · Answer 2

Multiply the amount of shoes being bought (7) by the price of one pair of shoes (15):

7 (15) = $105 with NO discount

If you have 10% off that means that you will be paying 90%. Multiply 90% or 0.9 by the cost of the seven shoes:

0.9 (105) = 94.50

You will pay $94.50 for the seven pairs of shoes.
