Question

Kleyder heard that a car stereo system was on sale for 30% off. If the original price was $82.50, what was the sale price of the stereo?

Answer 1

This means the cost of the item to you is $57.75. You will pay $57.75 for a item with original price of $82.50 when discounted 30%. In this example, if you buy an item at $82.50 with 30% discount, you will pay 82.50 - 24.75 = 57.75 dollars.
