Question

Go to a clothing store with

your parent/guardian and
pick out one item that you
would like to purchase. How
much of a discount would
you have if the item had
25% off sale? What would
a
the sale price be?

Answer 1

original price $75

discount $18.75

sale price $56.25

Explanation:

I found a pair of dress pants for $75.

Since the discount is 25%, then the discount is

25% of $75 = 0.25 × $75 = $18.75

The sale price is the original price, $75, minus the discount, $18.75.

$75 - $18.75 = $56.25
