Question

Target is having a holiday sale and is marking down

their entire selection of flat screen TVs. The listed price
of a TV is given at $500 and the sign in front of the TV
says that price is 25% off the listed price. Determine the
marked down price of the TV.

Answer 1

The mark down price of the tv is 375

Answer 2

$375

Explanation:

1. Convert the 25% discount into a decimal, which is 0.25
2. Multiply the original listed price ($500) by the discount as a decimal (0.25), which is $125
3. Subtract the original list price ($500) by $125 (the discount as a number). This is $375, which is the answer.
