Question

An item is regularly priced at $50. It is on sale for 40% off the regular price. What is the sale price?

Answer 1

The sale price would be $30

First you would find 10% of $50 which is $5

Next you would multiply 10% by 4 to get 40%
So you have to do the same to the $5 to get $20

Lastly subtract $20 from $50 to get a total of

$30

Answer 2

30 dollars

Explanation:

40% of 100 = 40. 40% of 50 = 20. 50-20 = 30.
