Question

A computer with a regular price of $650 is on sale for 25% off.
What is the discount amount?

Answer 1

When solving this equation I got the price $487.5

Because 75% of 650 is $487.5

And 25% of 650 is 162.5

And to check my work I add them together to see if I get 650.

487.5+162.5= 650, meaning that I was correct.

So the correct answer to your problem is $487.5
