Question 5 • VT-SAT-Math
A 35% discount means the price is reduced by 35% of $1,250. You can subtract that discount, giving $1,250 − 0.35($1,250), or find the remaining 65% of the original price, giving 0.65($1,250). Both expressions find the discounted price; the other expressions give only the discount amount or add the discount to the price.
