Summer Sports is having a sale. A volleyball has an original price of $59. It is on sale for 65% off the original price. All of the following could be used to find the selling price of the volleyball EXCEPT-

• Multiply .35 by 59

• Multiply .65 by 59 and subtract the result from 59.

All of these equations are true EXCEPT--

• 50% = 1/2

• 5% = 0.5

• 25% = 1/4

• 10% = .1
