A tape diagram. 0 dollars is 0 percent. Question mark dollars is 35 percent. 49 dollars is 100 percent.

Question

An advertisement reads “All Toys 35% Off.” How much money will you save if you buy a remote-control helicopter originally priced at $49?
$14.00
$17.15
$20.00
$31.85

Answer 1

To determine how much you will save when a toy is discounted by 35%, you can calculate 35% of the original price of $49.

First, find 35% of $49: \[ \text{Savings} = 0.35 \times 49 \]

Calculating that: \[ 0.35 \times 49 = 17.15 \]

So, if you buy the remote-control helicopter originally priced at $49, you will save $17.15.

The correct answer is $17.15.
