What is 25 percent off of 34.00 dollars?

Answer 1

Lets begin answering this by giving you some tricks to helping with even percentages (5%, 10%, 20%, etc).

When dealing with percentages that include 10% (such as yours when it asks for 25%), you can find 10% of any number by simply moving the decimal point one place to the left.

10% of 34.00 would be 3.400 (which we can remove the insignificant digits) or 3.4.

Now we know what 10% is we can find what 25%.

10% + 10% = 3.4 + 3.4 = 6.8. This is 20% of 34.00. Now our next step is to find 5%. 5% is exactly half of 10% so we can figure this out by:

3.4 ÷ 2 = 1.7. Thus we now have 3.4 + 3.4 + 1.7 = 8.5.

Now we have 25% of 34.00. Off means to substact so:

34.00 - 8.50 = $25.50.
