advertising?
Regular Price
(dollars)
25
Sale Price
(dollars)
18.75

Answer 1

The sale is 5% off.

Explanation:

• $25 regular price.
• $18.75 sale price.

You need to find the percentage that deducts $1.25 from the regular price. I start with 5% and work my way up from there until I find the answer.

So, 5% of 25 = ?

5% * 25 = 1.25

You needed $1.25, 5% gives you that.

Therefore, the answer is 5%.
