  1. $39.75 - - divide 53 by 100 and multiply answer by 75
  2. 53 divided by 4 = some amount 53 - some amount = what it will cost To check your work some amount times 4 = 53
  3. If the coupon is taking 25% off of the price, that means Morgan only has to pay the other 75% of the price. (.75)(53) = $39.75 Some tips to remember: 1) To change a percent to a decimal, move the decimal point 2 places to the left. 2) "of" means multiply. Hope this helps!
  4. After the discount of 25% is applied, he will pay only 75% So you want 75% of $53 : 75/100 x 53 = $39.75 Or you could try 3/4 of £53 where one quarter is 13.25 and three quarters are threfore $39.75
