Question

· A store has put a robotics kit on sale for 25% off the original price. If the original price is

$40, what is the soles price?

Answer 1

$30

Explanation:

50% of $40 would be half of 40 so 50%=20

Half of 50% =25% so half $20 is $10

This means that the discount price is $10 so if we take away the original price ($40) from the discount ($10) that leaves us with the new sale price of $30!

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

$30

Explanation:

If an item is 25% off of it's original price, off it is 75% of it's original price.

(100-25=75)

So, what we need to do is find 75% of 40.

0.75*40=30

The sales price is $30.
