  5. Can I afford this? • So the total is $137.93 • I am going to take 25% off of that total. • What am I going to pay now? • Well, 25% of $137.93 = $34.48. This is the discount. • $137.93 - $34.48 = $103.45 This is the discounted price. • Any shortcuts?

  7. I need help again • I found this fabulous blouse in both Marcys and Bleemingdales. It was priced at $50 and each store had it on sale. At Marcys, you take 50% off the original price and at Bleemingdales, you take 30% off the original price then an additional 20% off the discounted price. Does it matter where I purchase the blouse? Explain.
