Percentages

A pair of skates normally cost 110.99. They are in sale 10% off. What is the price after the discount.

I am bad with percentages and I get confused. I mult. the original price times 10 then divided by 100 and I got 99 for my answer which is completely wrong. Please help.

A 10 percent discount means the sale price is 90 percent of the original.

A discount is an amount that is deducted from the original price.
SO calculate the discount, then deduct it from the original price; kapish?
