Question

In a games shop, a board game that normally sells for $25 is marked ‘10% off’. What is the discount on the game? What is the new sale price?

Answer 1

Discount is $2.50

Sale price is $22.50

Explanation:

You can write 10% as 0.10.

Figure out the discount.

$25 x 0.10 = $2.50

The discount is $2.50

The new sale price is the original (normal) price minus the discount.

$25 - $2.50 = $22.50 is the new sale price
