Write how can you find the sale price of 25% off of $125?
1     Find the percentage's fraction out of 100.
1a   25%=25/100
2     Reduce the fraction.
2a    25/100=1/4
3      Multiply the price times the reduced fraction.
3a    $125*1/4=$31.25
4        Subtract the product from the price.
4a      $125-$31.25=$93.75

So the sale price is $93.75.
