    You need to find 30% of $52, then subtract by the original price to see the price you need to pay.

    1) 30% of %52. You can change the "of" to a multiplication sign (*)

    30% * $52

    2) Change 30% to a decimal:

    0.3

    3) Multiply:

    0.3 * 52 = $15.60

    4) $15.60 is your discount, so now you need to find the final price. Subtract the original price ($52) by the discount ($15.60) do get the final cost:

    $52 - 15.60 = $36.40

    FINAL ANSWER = $36.40 for the jeans

    First change the 30% to a decimal: (0.3)

    52 - (0.3)x (52)
