A pair of boots has an original price of $95. They are on sale for 35 percent off. What number can you multiply $95 by to equal the discounted price of $61.75?

A 35% discount means the sale price is 100% − 35% = 65% of the original price. Convert 65% to a decimal: 0.65. Multiplying $95 by 0.65 gives $61.75, so the correct choice is 0.65.
