Question

Roger is buying a new pair of shoes for 25% off. If the original price of the shoes was $70.00, how much money is Roger saving on the shoes?
A.
$52.50
B.
$1.75
C.
$5.25
D.
$17.50

Answer 1

To find out how much money Roger is saving on the shoes, we first need to calculate 25% of the original price, which is $70.00.

1. Calculate 25% of $70.00:
\[
25\% \text{ of } 70 = 0.25 \times 70 = 17.50
\]

So, Roger is saving **$17.50** on the shoes.

The correct answer is **D. $17.50**.
