Stella wanted to buy a new dress for the upcoming dance. At the store she found out that the dress she wanted was $50. The store was offering 30% off of everything in the store. What was the final cost of the dress?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
The dress was $50 and 30% off so 50 * .30 = $15 discount price. The dress cost $50 minus $15 (30% off discount) so 50 - 15 = $35.
Thus, the answer is 35.
