Answer:

$43.75

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have: 35% discount

Total without discount: $125.00

Amount discounted: ?

So you have to make 35% into a number that you can multiply with $125. When you have a percentage you move the decimal two times to the front so you have 0.35 then you multiply;

125 x 0.35 = 43.75.

43.75 is the amount discounted, so you only have to pay 81.25. The equation for that would look like;

125 - 43.75 = 81.25

Hope that made sense!
