Nate bought a new pair of shoes that were on sale for 25% off. If the shoes were $5 originally, what is the sale price of the shoes? its proportions btw

The sale price would be $3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

5*25%=1.25

5-1.25=3.75

the sale price of the shoes would be $3.75 because 5÷4=1.25 and 5-1.25=3.75, unless you are including tax. hope you get a good grade!

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
