Question

A tool bench costs $650 but is marked 25% off. What is the sales price for the tool
bench?

Answer 1

$487.50

0.25 times 650 equals 162.5

650 - 162.5= 487.50

Answer 2

$487.5‬

Explanation:

This is because 650 x 0.25 (25%) is 162.5.

That is how much will be discounted.

To find the price, you subtract the amount being discounted by the original price.

650 - 162.5 = 487.5‬

Therefore, the sales price for the tool bench is $487.5‬.
