INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To do this, think of the percent number with a decimal to the right of the last digit. Move the decimal point two places to the left to get the converted decimal. You can also use the %{\displaystyle \%} sign on a calculator. For example, you might want to calculate the sale price of a pair of shoes that is regularly $69.95. If the shoes are 25% off, you need to convert 25% to a decimal by thinking 25%=25.00%=.25{\displaystyle 25\%=25.00\%=.25}. You can multiply the decimal by hand, or use a calculator. This will tell you the discount, or what value is being taken off the original price. For example, to find the 25% discount on a pair of $69.95 shoes, you would calculate 69.95.25=17.49{\displaystyle 69.95 imes .25=17.49}. To subtract decimals, line up the decimal points and subtract as you would whole numbers. Be careful to drop the decimal point down into your answer. You can also use a calculator. The difference will be the sale price of the item. For example, if a pair of shoes that are originally $69.95 have a discount of $17.49, calculate the sale price by subtracting:69.9517.49=52.46{\displaystyle 69.95-17.49=52.46}. So, the shoes are on sale for $52.46.

SUMMARY: Convert the percentage discount to a decimal. Multiply the original price by the decimal. Subtract the discount from the original price.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Open a bottle of white wine. Pour it liberally over the stain. Do so in order to neutralize the red wine's pigments and possibly lift the stain out entirely. Of course, you may not have white wine on hand, or you may not be too keen to waste any more on top of what you spilled. In that case, pour distilled white vinegar over the stain instead. This will also weaken the red and purple pigments and, like the white wine, could possibly remove the stain on its own. This may be easier to do with a partner, so ask someone for help if you can. First, boil some water. Once it's ready, hold your jeans over the sink and pull the stained area taut between your two hands. Then have your partner pour the water onto the stain from a height of roughly 12 inches (30 cm) to wash the stain out. Wear rubber gloves while doing this so you don't scald your hands. With sparkling water, don't worry about boiling it as you would with plain water. Also, don't worry if it's gone flat and lost its carbonation. Simply pour it over your jeans to lift some or all of the stain out. Pouring the liquids above works best on fresher stains, so if yours has already dried into your denim (or if you spilled a lot of wine over most of your jeans), don't worry if that didn't get the job all the way done. Fill a container with enough vinegar, white wine, or club soda to soak the stained area, and let your jeans sit in it until the stain fades. Don't use boiled water to soak your jeans. Warm water can actually make the stain settle in faster if your jeans are just sitting in it.
Summary: Neutralize the red wine with white wine. Do the same with white vinegar. Pour boiling water over the stain. Pour club soda over the stain. Soak large or dried stains.

Slide your casserole dish or baking pan onto one of the upper shelves in your refrigerator where you'll be able to keep an eye on it. Make sure the shelf you pick out is perfectly flat so the Jello sets in an even layer. There's no need to wait for your Jello to set completelyyou just want to leave it in long enough to let it solidify to the point where you can add another layer without the colors mingling. If the shelf you use is crooked, your Jello layers may come out thicker on one end than the other, which could throw off the look of your rainbow. Use a table knife to carefully slice the single sheet of Jello into precise squares. Aim to make each square the same size so you won't be left with any thin slivers or oddly-shaped pieces. Enjoy! If you're serving bigger kids and adults, measure your squares to be about 23 inches (5.17.6cm) apiece. For smaller children, 12in (2.55.1cm) servings should be plenty. Cover your leftover Jello and store it in the refrigerator. It should stay good for a week or longer.

One-sentence summary -- Chill the first layer of Jello in the refrigerator for 25-30 minutes. Cut your rainbow Jello into squares before serving it.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Stickers come in countless shapes, colors, sizes, and styles. You can find decorative washi tape in almost any color and design. The possibilities here are endless! Arrange the stickers in a way to create a picture, or place them sporadically across the envelope. It's also okay to keep it simple and only use 1 or 2 stickers in one of the corners. Add 3D or foam stickers for more visual interest and texture. Make stripes or frames with the washi tape for a sleek look. Try placing a sticker at the point on the flap to create a seal and secure the envelope, or line the entire flap with washi tape. Paper punches range from basic shapes like circles and ovals, to more complex designs like flowers and scalloped circles. Punch basic shapes out of patterned paper and glue the paper shapes on the envelope. Create 3D flowers by layering the flower shapes on top of one another. Using a few basic shapes like circles and ovals, you can make anything from fish and frogs to bears and owls. If your recipient has a favorite animal, try making it, but any cute animal is sure to make them smile. For example, to create a ladybug: Punch out one large black circle and one small black circle. Use a glue stick or craft tape to adhere the small circle to the top of the large circle. This creates the body and head. To make the wings, punch out a large red circle and draw black dots on it. Then cut the red circle in half. Position the wings so they appear to be open, and adhere them to the large black circle, just underneath the "head." To make movable wings, use a small brad to attach the red half-circles. This is a great idea if you are giving the recipient money or a gift card. Use ribbon in any color or design. The ribbon can be thin or thick, and you can even use multiple kinds at the same time. Instead of tying the ribbon around the envelope, try making a bow out of the ribbon and gluing it on the envelope. Glue blingy fake diamonds or pearls on the envelope. Place them sporadically, or use them to create swirly lines or other designs. This would be a fun option for a girly-girl or someone who loves jewelry. For added texture and visual interest, try gluing buttons on the envelope.

SUMMARY:
Apply stickers or washi tape to the envelope for a quick and easy option. Create fun shapes and designs with a paper punch. Combine multiple paper punch shapes to make animal art. Tie ribbon around the envelope to make it look like a gift box. Add jewels or buttons for something extra.
