Answer: The sales price is $13.78


The original price is $57.41. It is selling at 76% off.
First, we need to find the discount. To find the discount, we need to find out what is 76% of $57.41

-------------------------------------------------
Find discount
-------------------------------------------------
76% x $57.41 ← change the percentage to decimal

= 0.76 x 57.41

= $43. 63 (nearest hundredth)

Now that we know the discount, we can find the sales price by subtracting the discount from the original price.

-------------------------------------------------
Find sales price
-------------------------------------------------
$57.41 - $43.63 = $13.78

-------------------------------------------------
The sales price is $13.78.
