Question

A video game is on sale for 25% off the original price. The original price is $48. What is the sale price .?

Answer 1

You do $48 (x) .25% and you will get your answer is $12 so you pay $36

Answer 2

The sale price of the video game is $36.00

We know that the video game is 25% off, so you will be paying 75% instead of the full 100%. (100% - 25% = 75%).

0.750 × 48 = $36.00.

Therefore, the sale price of the item is $36.00.
